A Bitter Sweet Photo

I called this a bitter sweet photo because I was excited today to see a recent picture of Gary but the photo in itself is sad. This was taken over in Afghanistan at his friend and soldiers memorial service. Gary lost his friend Jason about 2 weeks ago. It's a big reality check when things like this happen. Especially seeing pictures of them over there and it's not just people on the news that I dont know it's people I've met and friends of ours. Please keep Gary and his soldiers in your thoughts and prayers.

Gary is on the left, standing, 4th person in.

What moving photos. I am so sorry to hear of Gary (and your) friend. Most of the time the whole war seems so surreal and then something like this happens to someone you know and love. Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary and all the soldiers. Please let him know we are thinking about him and praying for them everyday.
