Now that the celebration has passed, I feel it is important to remember those who have died to gives us our freedoms. I'm asking my fellow optiboarders to please pray for two fallen soldiers and their families. It has been an honor and a priviledge to have had my life touch by these brave men.
The first is 1st Sgt. John Blair of Calhoun, GA. His mother has worked with me for the past 4 years and he left behind a wife and two small children. He died during an hour and a half long conflict with the Taliban. He was found after the conflict with his finger still on the trigger. He gave his life shielding his men from enemy fire.
The second is Lance Cpl Seth Sharp from Adairsville, GA. His family was notified today while attending the morning church service of my mother-in-law's church. The details are not known at this time. He was a very young man who had his whole life ahead of him. He joined the Marines because he believed that our country had given him so much, that he need to give something back.
