May you find comfort and sleep well tonight, for my brothers and I stand guard in your defense. We have left all we know and love and taken the fight to the devil's door. As did our brothers before us, we have all sworn an oath to defend you and yours and if required, give our lives for your safety and the American way of life.
We do not take this oath lightly and pray that you do not either. Never forget the freedoms we have came at a great price. Battlefields all over the world are stained with the blood of men and women who answered the call.
Make no mistake, I prefer not to die for my country, but if necessary I will. I do not fear death for I find peace and faith in God's plan. Live each day as if it is your last and never wish you had "one more chance" to let someone know you love them.
