Jonathan W Edds

West Point, 2005

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by David Duer on August 25, 2007:

John,

Perhaps it is because I am here in Nashville away from the ones who loved you so much, but your death affected me in way I did not imagine. I did not know you that well but yet I feel that you were a part of my life. The church in Auburn probably did not know you and Laura that well but I know you were a part of it. My heart hurts deeply for Laura and your family. You were so loved and cared for. I cried when I saw your brothers on the TV report via the web.

I don't really know what else to say other than thank you for sacrificing your life for my freedom. I guess you were my token soldier. You were the soldier who represented thousands of others to me.

Enjoy Heaven.
David
