Just reading the story of Chris Falkel's life, "The Making of Our Warrior", and wanted to take a moment to thank him and his family (including his extended family of brothers) for raising him right.
Thanks for your service, Chris. You will not be forgotten.
Each and every one of our fallen brothers listed here was someone's son, and in most cases, someone's brother, husband, or father. There is a story behind each of them, and many lives that they touched in their brief years on this Earth.
Thanks for sharing your son's story, Jeff Falkel.
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."
George S. Patton, Jr.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
