About a week ago in Afghanastan. Chad Clements humvee hit a IED and 3 others were killed. He is the second man to die in my town in 4 yrs. Sad for a town of 40k. I knew who he was in passing but thats it.

Kit & I will have a Patriot Gaurd misssion on Sunday. It will be my 5th and her 4th.

His escort went by a house I was working on. Must have been a mile long of Sherriff cars, State police, PGR, etc. I never tear up when a hearse goes by but this was different.......

   Things like this bring it home to all of us.
 It is a war weather we like it or not.
   America has and always will give her best for
our way of life.
   God bless him and his family.

It's always a sad day when we lose someone who is fighting for us. God bless him and all the others.

Stand tall for him. He has given the ultimate sacrifice so that we have the right to be there. Will be with you in spirit!!  Funeral missions are always sad, but it's even worse when its a young soldier with their life ahead of them.  Cry

Prayers for his family and friends.
