Chris was reunited with his biological father,and Step brothers and sisters over Christmas 2009, His brother, and My Son, Shawn served honorably, and I forever owe a debt for that part of freedom he preserved for myself and family. I miss him and never a day goes by that I don't think of him and am thankful for the stand he took for freedom.
It has been 9 years, This is memorial week end 2016, no day goes by that he is not remembered and missed. The article about Shawn does not mention his immediate family because the source of the information was given by his girlfriends family, who unfortunately we never got to know very well, even though Shawn and Jodene had planned to be married. and my family only met her a few times, the last was in January 0f 2007, the last time I saw Shawn.The last thing we did together was help a friend finish moving his family from college housing after he graduated. The last time i talked a long time over the Phone in April he had been doing very well, was buying a house, doing great in his mechanical engineering class. He would have been 25 June 14, (Flag Day) 2016. I am spending this day alone, as far as my family is up snowboarding, Shawn got them started driving hundreds of miles to take them with him. I am still mourning dealing with loss, but finding all hope in renewed faith through Jesus Christ. Shawn practiced his faith in great generosity; I would not want to believe he died in vain because the war was not over for him when he returned... his death has been related to PTSD, but truly I don't know, what I do know is that when he announced he was going to join the army, I told him if you are to become a soldier, become a good one, and he was. May God bless all who serve this day, and their families, who miss them while they are gone, especially those who can not see them this side eternity anymore.
