For His Service

Michelle Malkin honors a serviceman that the New York Times had the audacity to only partially quote. I suppose it suits their purposes, but cannot a man's final statements be quoted completely even in death? I highly recommend you read the rest of the story.

 

I want to honor Corporal Jeffrey B. Starr and thank him, and his grieving family, for his amazing selfless  service - he re-enlisted three times. He was more than a dedicated soldier, he believed in the beauty of freedom. He believed in his role there. May God keep his family and comfort them. He was 22.

About Me

I love to read, I love my husband and children, I love my Savior. I enjoy dark roast coffee with cream and sugar, Earl Grey tea with scones and clotted cream, long walks in forested areas and Redwood trees. I have a mad passion for history, strong sound Reformed theology, and good creation science materials. I have strong opinions, but respect those of others. I am grateful for my life, for every breath, for each day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice in His mercy.
