Thank you Lord for those who have given their life for our freedom. Amen



Fallen Marine arrives in Bozeman - Daily Chronicle: "The body of 21-year-old Marine Cpl. Nicholas K. Uzenski arrived today around noon at Gallatin Field airport as family members stood by. Marines carried the flag-draped casket into a hearse, which joined a procession to the Dahl Funeral Chapel, where Uzenski's funeral will take place tomorrow.
ERIK PETERSEN/CHRONICLE Marines carry the casket of Cpl. Nicholas K. Uzenski, a 21-year-old Marine killed in Afghanistan on Jan. 11, from the plane at Gallatin Field airport Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010. Uzenski, whose family lives in Bozeman, was a member of the Third Recon Battalion, Third Marine Division based in Okinawa, Japan. He deployed to Afghanistan in November."

My work can hold a variety of things happening on any given day. Today however I feel portrays a very sad and somber moment that should make all Ameicans stop and be thankful for our freedom and those fighting to protect it. Please thank those you know serving and thank our Lord for all the freedoms we daily take for granted in America.

My heart aches whenever a Marine loses his life while fighting for freedom. As a Marine wife, it hits so close to home... May the Lord be with his family during this time of loss.
