A true hero
 
A fellow ref in my area who does multiple sports and is president of our Lacrosse association had a parent's worst nightmare happen, but reading about his son and his outlook on life is more than inspirational and somehow uplifting despite the tragedy he endured. Keep him in your prayers during this holy time of year.

Tough story. Thanks for sharing Fullor.

I know his dad a little bit as he belongs to an association I am a member of. This was a really sad thing to hear, but they have their son. I wish and pray the best for the young man and the family around him.

Peace

True hero indeed. The sacrifice that my fellow Airmen and other service members make is something that always causes me to reflect on what it means to serve. So many impressive men and women laying it all on the line for our country.

This is the second time today a strong military thought hit me. As a contractor, I have to go to morning meetings. Today someone said something about how long it would take them to "form up" for something they had to do. I thought to myself, "If you need someone to march a flight, I could do it." <sigh>, the good old days.
