I was reading this article on the MSN website. This navy seal had a grenade bounce of his chest and land on the ground next to him. Rather than letting it go off and kill him and his buddies, he jumped on top of it taking most of the force. He died 30 minutes later. His friends only sustained minor injuries
How many of us could really do that and pay the ultimate price for our friends, our kids, our families???? I would like to think that I could and would. Fortunately I haven't had to give up my life for anyone, but I hope people remember me and think of me as the type of person that would do anything for anyone. Cody has 2 cousins in Iraq right now. How grateful I am for people willing to risk their lives so that we are free. If you would like to read the entire story click on the little box at the top of this post. If I did it right, the link should be there.

That is the most honorable thing a person can do. My heart goes out to his family and those men that were there with him. Thank you for giing your life for our country. to all the men and women sering in the military thank you.
That is such a sad storgy but amazing-- It is ok if you think of me as a little kid because I can't believe that you have 3 kids! I can't believe Tiffani does!
It was me that wrote the Brett Favre comment-- he is my love! I am a die hard Packer fan and have been in depression over his retirement... at least baseball season is starting up.
By the way my husband is trying to convince me to move to Levan-- so you'll have to tell me how small town life is.
