No one wins when at war, not the persons who have served and returned "whole" - whatever whole maybe. Def. not the parents or community. This young man lived in Smithville but he could of lived anywhere in the USA, the entire state of Texas mourns this loss.

Thank you for serving is not enough. Thank you for taking up the gun, where my husband left his and protecting this country. I continue to wait for my husband to return from Vietnam. God bless the entire nation. May the family find comfort in knowing that if they can't see their loved one it's because God can see him.
