On Wednesday, Nov 22, I drove through a small town in South Texas. We were going to a small ranch community near Vicotria TX. As we were driving through Floresville Tx, we drove behind a motorcade of 12 police vehicles escorting a hearse. I knew then that they were bringing home another fallen soldier. I just knew it in my heart. I think I sat there and cried and cried as we drove through the small town, drove through this little community that we saw supporting this soldier, what he gave and his family. My mind immediately went back to the day Joel was brought home. The day that seemed to take forever. So when I returned home, I looked up this small town, and found out who the soldier was. He was a young 23 year old man, from Falls City, TX. He was on his second deployment to Iraq and only a few months into it. He was killed in the same manner Joel was and left behind a mother, father, brother and grandparents. My heart goes out to this family. I understand all to well the pain. I will keep this young man in my prayers and his family. I am greatful that I drove up on this, it made me realize once again how strong on a country we live in and how greatful so many people are.
