#5  "He had a respect for duty," his father said. "What he believed was right, he did. And he didn't quit until it was done to his standards."

Thank you Geoffrey Morris. (ancient meaning of the name "Geoffrey" = bright shield)

#4  If there is a manifestation of what is good in our world, this kid is it. There are so many like him over there working their tails off to move Iraq out of the dark ages. Tibor is exactly right. We will not lose with such men and women on our side.

What a contrast to the chest thumping seethers they fight against. Just a quiet sense of purpose and honor. My prayers and my thanks go out to his family.

#2  'I want you to know that I am right with God and everything will be OK.' Very prophetic, I would have that put on his headstone. Ditto to what Tibor said!

#1  I've said it before and I'll say it again. How can we lose with men such as these defending us and defending freedom? May he rest in peace and may his family find some comfort in the thanks of a grateful nation.
