Death
is found on bloody battlefields
Freedom
is what we preserve
While Salvation
is found within one's heart
In a list

You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Always so proud of you for serving your counrty. You will always be a special friend never to be forgotten. Hugs and Smile flying north.
Bless you,

You managed to say so much within the small amount of words used...profound words. Looking to your heart to find peace is good advice.
Someone told me once to always follow my heart and it would never lead me wrong.
Best wishes in the contest.
Love Margaret
