Fallen Hero
This past week has been a sad week here in Cache Valley. A fifth grade teacher from Nibley elementary was killed in the line of duty while in Iraq. I didn't know him personally but I did know his wife, she went to Mountain Crest. He decided to enlist in the Army and serve his country a year and half ago. I have heard so many good things about him this week. On Wednesday, the day of his funeral, I pulled out to go to work and this is what I saw on the road in front of our house. The entire road was completely lined with flags on both sides. The pictures really do not do it justice, it was a beautiful sight. Hundreds of flags every five feet in both directions for as far as you could see. By the time I got to the end of the street I had tears in my eyes as I thought about my comfortable life in my heated car, while others are risking their lives to make mine so easy. I have such a respect for the men and women that serve our country.

That is one of the saddest pictures I've seen.
I am right with you there Alana. I felt the same way as I drove around the Hyrum cemetery! Pretty amazing. It really makes you forget about all of your little troubles and respect and honor those that are fighting and keeping us safe.
I am thankful for our soldiers, they have choosen to serve our country no matter what, life or death. I could never be that strong of a wife, so bless those that are.
