On September 1st, 2012, Green Beret Jeremie Border from Mesquite, Texas was killed in Afghanistan. He was my cousin's only son.

Maybe he will wind up on this great man's wall some day.

what a tribute you have shown to the fallen heros everywhere.

[Chris Campbell]

Ken, I can't describe the feelings I had just watching this. I"m a wounded warrior from Iraq. We lived in TX until moving back to WV to care for my folks. I am coming to TX next week to "adopt" a newly retired Air Force working military dog who was also injured when I was in 2005. I hope we can make time to come by and see this first hand. 3256509241 / ssgtchriscampbell@gmail.com. If you can contact me we will work on a time to be there. SSgt Chris Campbell, USAF, Retired

YES SIR I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE THING ABOUT WAR THAT I LIKED. TOO MUCH COST IN TOO MANY WAYS...

Thanks, Ken, and my comments aren't meant to be rude or to impugn you for using your wonderful talents any way you choose. I feel sad also for and honor any family who has lost a loved one to war, but my beef is against my fellow Americans who glorify war and think it is this great undertaking, when in fact war is ungodly and hated by Christ.
