Many Heroes are Nameless

Edgar and I have always loved movies.  In recent years, life has gotten in the way of us being able to evaluate which Oscar nominated best movies should win.  We've resumed our pursuit and among our recent viewings have been two great films inspired by actual events, Argo and Zero Dark Thirty.  

We often aren't aware, until many years later (if ever) of the disasters avoided by talented men and women who apply their talents, risk their lives and can't say anything about their missions.

I'm so very thankful for the men and women who are nameless heroes.

Some Gave All...

We often take for granted the many freedoms we enjoy.  When someone in our circle dies protecting our freedom, we are vividly reminded that we owe incalculable debt, appreciation and honor to all of our soldiers and their loved ones who have bravely fought and continue to lay down their lives to protect the freedoms we hold dear.

Cpl. Chris Yauch is a fallen soldier who has been a part of my circle since his birth.  I am enormously grateful that he was willing, but incredibly sad that Chris had to give all to protect our freedom.

Chris, his family and I grew up in an amazing town in north central Arkansas - Batesville.  I've never been more proud of a community honoring the ultimate sacrifice of a local hero.
