I light this candle in honor of the men and women who have fallen in this war. You are the heroes that will always be a symbol of American courage. Your footsteps on this earth may have been shortened but now they are imprinted in the minds and hearts of all of us forever. Your footsteps are as one with our Lord who has carried you to heaven and the angels sing your names. May we always remember the fallen as we walk the path of freedom for they are the ones who shed their blood so that we continue to be the land of the free and the home of the brave ~ You may not know me by name as I am the soldier on the last slide in the slide show, I am your husband or wife, your son or daughter. I am the marines, the army, the air force, the
navy... look for me when your freedom is threatened. God bless America ~a soldier currently serving in Iraq

 
All of these pictures came from families who have a loved one serving in Iraq. The definition for a hero is, someone that shows great courage. Courage isn't something you can see or touch. It comes from deep within us. Like faith it gives us the strength to go to a desert and fight for the freedom of children who are not our own. Knowing that we will make the world a better place for all of us. To each and every person serving in the war, you are the heroes for all the children of the world. Your courage is a candle that will continue to shine in the hearts of every child who is waiting for your safe return. God bless you all. ~Jenessa Alexis
