It really touched me. Analiese's great uncle Jack passsed away last year. He was a Sgt. Major in the army. None of us had any idea just how highly ranked he was. That's the highest rank an enlisted man may strive to in the US Army and his funeral reflected that. As we sat, crying and listening, to Taps being played, I thought of the same things you did. General George S. Patton said, "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." I don't know if I agree 100% that it's wrong to mourn them, but I do agree that it's right to be thankful that such men lived. Your "Popo" was one of a generation of men in our country that was the greatest we've seen. I'm proud, with you, of your grandfather. I'm sorry for your loss and grateful for your blessing to have such a rich heritage. It makes me wonder what kind of legacy and heritage I'm leaving for my children and grandchildren. I'm sure you've wondered that too. From what I've seen, PJ, you're on your way to leaving a very rich spiritual heritage for your family and for this world. Bless you this Christmas Eve, PJ. I'm thankful to serve alongside you in the amazing youth ministry at COLW.mitch lundnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684719470058598173.post-13202263088446732812008-12-15T21:03:00.000-08:002008-12-15T21:03:00.000-08:002008-12-15T21:03:00.000-08:00I'm so sorry PJ.
