I was in attendance for Airman Seidlers Funeral this morning. I did not know the Airman or his family,but wanted to pay my respects to his courage and his service to our great country.
ReplyDeleteThe funeral was very moving with a tribute to his life by his father that would make any man proud.
"Thank You Airman Matthew Seidler". This is hardly a worthy response to such an unselfish act.
However, here in this futristic memorial, I believe you are with good company here with these Men and Women who lived their lives in service to their countries and the belief in what is right and should be protected.
