I may have never known any of these men but that doesn't diminishes the fact that I do feel sad for the families they've left behind. Especially for fellow Filipinos who has,time and again,proven that we are a country of brave and noble men. May the Good Lord bless their souls and may their love ones find comfort in knowing that they have died fighting not just for America but for the whole world. We may be half way around the globe and some may think we don't care,but we do,I do. To all of those who have put their lives on the line,thank you. The world is a much better place because of you. And for the families and friends of these fallen heroes,someone from as far away as the Philippines feels for you. There is a reason for all of these...we may not know it now...but in due time the Lord will reveal the meaning of it all. Just when we thought we had the grandest plan for ourselves,something happens and reveals God's even bigger plans for us.

It's going on five years since you've been gone. I'm thankful for the opportunity to have met you, to have partied with you, and to have served with you. The day you died is the day I stopped celebrating Memorial Day. As a twenty seven year old man I finally understand the true meaning of this day. Eventhough I've surpassed you in age Rich, you will forever remain my big brother. Can you see what I've become? Are you proud of me? I'm sure I'll see you again Rich, but hopefully not too soon...I moved from Hawai'i to Texas in 2006 and on October 5th Richwell Doria called to wish me a Happy Birthday. He had a deployment to Iraq looming and still found time in of his busy schedule to call. That's who he was and that's how I'll always remember him.
