I thank all the gold star families for their sacrifice. It is indeed an honor and privilege to be here.

My mother was a gold star wife. Her husband died on his twenty first birthday 5/25/45 after an airplane fire in St. Louis. She was a widow with two children. Several years later she met and married my father and had four more children. I never served, nor did any of my brothers or sisters. However, four of five of her grandsons (including my son) served -- three still active. She would be very proud.

Dear Friends please read and pass a long to everyone you know, your help is greatly needed.


I am working very hard to bring full honro to all EODMU Fallen Heroes and I could use everyone help even ie you don't like me do it for our heroes not for me.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We want to get the word out about the Remembering The Brave Organization which honors all fallen heroes. They have a ceremony every year to honor our fallen and their familie by presenting them with hero's metals. Then in April or May in Colorado and in May at Quantico, VA to help raise money by having a shooting match to raise money to cover the cost of the unuforms and metals for the fallen to be honroed at the ceremonies. Also moneys are are also raised to help Gold Star Family and our Wounded Warriors, This a none profit foundation, if you check out their website you will learn more. As for my statement about me is that I have not had any luck in getting the guys that served with Adam to get invovled and now I have had a Trophy made in Adam's honor and the trophy will be forever to honor all fallen EOD heros. I would really like to see them step up and be the there to tell stories of these fallen heroes as well as to try to win the trophy for their units. No one that serve with Adam show up to share in this very special event and It breaks my heart. So if you know any military personnel please share this story and ask them to spread the word of this great organization. Thank you ever so very much for your help. The website is Remembering The Brave Organization. Please forward this letter to everyone you know. Thank you ever so very much, my love, hugs and prayers to you and your family,

"So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap harvest of blessing at the appropriate time." GALATIANS 6:9
Never Give Up
It's so easy to get discouraged when we're striving to do what God want us to do. We see other sliding by-taking shortcuts. And , they seem to have it all. They reject God's way but good things seem to come to them anyway. It's hard work to do the right thing. But, in the end , God's way is the best way. When the time is right, God's blessings do come to those who do God's good will. And Pfc. Jake Suter was doing God's will. My heart cries out for the Suter family in this time of pain.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles . . ." 2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-4
God is the Father of compassion. When we're hurting, he's right there for us. He speaks to us through his Word, he listens as we lay out our pain to him and he uses other people as a conduit for his compassion. He never leaves us alone to figure things out by ourselves. And then, he turns around and uses us to funnel his love to others in pain. We can look back at what we learned and share it with someone else.
My heart cries out for the Leicht family.

Another Mother's Day to spend without a hug or kiss from you and I will shed tears and laughters as the memories of you flow through my mind. Yet I know there will be a very happy Mother's Day when you and I are reunited in Heaven. You are my Sunshine and you make me happy when skys are gray. My son, my baby boy, MY NAVY MAN, My Hero!
