Moment of Silence.

This has nothing to do with Scrapbooking or anything. The recent Helicopter attack overseas really hit me emotionally. My co-worker came into work on Tuesday, he's in the National Guard. He knew the gentlemen very well. He went to my boss and asked for the night off because they were having a meeting in regards to Bruce Smith, one of the casualities of the downed helicopter. It hit so close to home and to me. I was watching the news Tues. Night and they had the new broadcasts of him. Because he truly is a a Hero. Never a accident. He made sure his comrades went down as softly as he could. At first they said his injuries weren't life threatening when he later died. My co-worker look terrible. It looked like someone had beat him up. His eyes were so swollen from crying. We still have a couple from our area that are injured. My hearts and prayers go out to them and their families. You know it seems that since President Bush said the War is over. Why is it that some of our Heroes gets killed everyday??? I mean there is not one day that goes by that we hear of someone getting killed. I mean WTF? Am I right? The War isn't over, its just beginning. I am afraid for all the men and women who are serving and sacrificing their lives for us. Us in meaning, the entire world. I am praying for the Brave Soldier who died for us on Tuesday. Thank you for being there and helping us. If it weren't for our Heroes, we would not have freedom.
