honoring you.....

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Thank You

Dear PFC Ronald Zydel, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was Palm Sunday, and it is Holy Week. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
