He was in the military and so was his son. He has seen it from both sides, as a soldier and as a family member of a soldier.

He helped them get IDs and connect with the rest of the families. They wouldn't have known what to do without him.

I would call him so many times. He would talk me out of the tree, so to speak.

I'm starting to get calls already. I was shocked when I found out. He has been the go-to man for families who had problems.

It's our duty to hang a picture of our kids on that (Military Wall). There were some pictures, but it was very empty, and their pictures deserve to be up on that wall ... I am proud of everyone here and I am very proud of my son ... he is the best kid in the world and I can't stand to be away from him.

When we are covering our service member by the shield of prayer, we are engaging God's defense system of protection.
