At the eve of Memorial Day, my thoughts and prayers go out to all soldiers who have passed away or are with their loved ones. Every Sunday on the segment of “In Memoriam” from “This Week with George Stenanopoulos”, and before heading for my ritual to heading to mass, my heart goes out to all families who have lost a daughter, wife, son, husband, mother or father.
The following are the names released by the Pentagon:-
Army SPC David A Schaefer Jr, 27, of Belleville, IL
Army SSG Esau l De la Pena-Hernandez, 25, of La Puente, CA
Army SGT Carlie M Lee, III, 23 of Birmangham, AL
Air Force 1st Lt Roslyn, L Schulte, 25, of St. Louis, MO
So many who will not be returning to their homes have had their names displayed every week and month ever since I began watching this particular airing on ABC. I so much admiration for what this nation has accomplished, none of this would have been possible were it not for the valiant unsung heroes fighting for its ideologies. And so I have taken it upon myself to pay my respects to the fallen soldiers during this brief pause to cease whatever my activities are and say a short prayer for all of them.
And so being in the United States of America for only eight years, I hope that all of you will join me and raise a toast for the brave men and women serving at battle fields far away and to all who have perished so valiantly so that we are all safe!!!!
