Your Angel Day
Posted for: GORDON J GRAHAM:
Mere words cannot express my appreciation for your service to our country and the ultimate sacrifice that you made so that other might have their freedom.

Although it may have seemed and others might feel the loss of your life was in vain and that the Vietnam War was a senseless war I am one American who does not believe this. I believe that what you did for your country was not in vain but that your sacrifice has been and will always be an influence for good for our country for generations to come.

Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing up for what was right and for paying the ultimate price.

In your honor today on your Angel Day I leave this short poem for you:

“There is not greater love than this.
There is not a greater gift that can ever be given.
To be willing to die, so another might live.
There is not greater love than this.”
~ Steven Curtis Chapman
