As most of you know, Tom flies 747s all over the world. He gets to go to exotic countries and transport exotic things like cars, flowers, diamonds, etc.However, today he carried something much more precious: the bodies of seven of our fallen soldiers. This is the second time he has transported soldiers from Ramstein AFB in Germany to Dover AFB in Delaware.
He called and told me what a sad experience it was to sign for the bodies of seven of our soldiers. Their names were right there on his list, and it was very humbling to think that they are someone's spouse, parent, child, sibling, fellow countryman.
May God comfort their families at this time, and may we all remember to pray for and thank those who fight for our freedoms here at home.

What a touching post. Thank you for a very humble reminder.
Thanks for the reminder. It very humbling indeed to think of all they and their family's sacrificed for us and our freedoms.
Thanks for taking the time to do this post. Grandpa Gary has already read it.
Thanks for sharing. It makes it so much more personal. Not to be all soft, but it did bring a few tears to my eyes.
