A Thought: As the Sun sets and the sky turns red, we sit in the twilight of our dreams, not knowing what tomorrow will bring. The next day is a rebirth of the day before, with renewed hope for the future that sets our minds to our tasks ahead. The motivation of wanting to live is predicated on the willingness to sacrifice for those things that are dear to us. As we approach each day with the uncertainty of the future, we may be reassured that there is value in all that we do, when our faith in our beliefs is strong. Sacrifice is not ours to dwell upon, but to contemplate in celebration of its effect upon those that will carry the memory of the fallen. As long as there is memory, those that have made the ultimate sacrifice will never die, and the values and beliefs that they have sacrificed for will flourish. Thank you 1LT Goeke for all that you have given us in your sacrifice, you will never be forgotten. Respectfully, Stephen G. Fine SFC, USAR, RET Parent of "08 Grad |
