I read this thread this morning. I was so sad I couldn't even post to it until now.

Please accept my prayers and sympathy to all of his friends and family.

Gosh that sucks!

God Bless his family and sincerest condolences.

Perhaps I should paraphrase my Vince Lombardi signature line and rename it as well. I salute you brother!

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour is that moment when he has given his life in a good cause and lies on the field of battle, so that others might know freedom."

God Bless you and your family. My kids are running around free today because of guys like your husband. So sorry for your loss.

"These are times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

Thomas Paine, 1775

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"

John 15:13


He was prepared to give his life to save one in his everyday job, instead he gave it for all of us. God Bless and keep you, brother.

Men such as Army Master Sgt. Michael T. Hiester have ben there to protect us. Freedoms he fought for, remember we will, so much we have to repay. I feel I knew this man from here on the board, Can we make a memorial for him underwater, in the place he liked to dive? So that we do not forget his presense in this world. His picture with his child brings tears to my eyes, we need to relay a message to his son and family, that we do care, and will always remember our fallen freind.
