US Military Fallen week ending Aug. 15, 2009

Welcome all new viewers. These weekly episodes pay tribute to brave men and women who served our country with honor. This video and your comments are memorial tributes for our fallen soldiers.

Please visit my US Military Fallen Tribute Channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/jcastillo57 for previous episodes, military funerals and homecomings. On a personal note, I am humbled by your comments and messages. They inspire me to produce the best I can to honor your love ones. By the time I complete these videos they become my love ones too. I dont know or never met any of them, but I and many others believe, they make it possible for US citizens, to freely agree to disagree. This is my way of saying; Im proud of you and thank you for your service to our country. May God show His tender mercies to your family and friends as they mourn and celebrate your life.

Mr Swanson,

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them or the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
