Army Sgt. Donna R. Johnson Among Those Who Died For Us Last Week – Week 40 [VIDEOS]
It's hard not to think of the families that will be forever linked together by death. As you read these posts, you will see those who died together; some from the same states, and how these families now have to deal with their ultimate sacrifice. If you don't know who Larry Eckhardt is, please watch both video's in today's post. What an amazing human being and the one thing he and I both have in common is that there isn't a week that goes by that we don't honor our fallen warriors and I am honored to be able to say that.
