sooch Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I was in the line of folks in front of the KMart with a bunch of little boy scouts. There were a lot of folks lined in front of that shopping center. What a sad experience but your heart can't help but swell with pride seeing the many people lined up to show their love and respect. I hope there were other areas that had folks standing out. I also hope someone will post on here where there will be a line on Tuesday morning en route to Canton. I didn't know this young man or his family but I know he gave his life for all Americans. I'm sure he must be at peace now and I just pray that his family can find some peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of this brave young man. Link to post Share on other sites
