“The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.” ~Benjamin Disraeli

I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of another one of America's heroes, Cpl. Christopher Singer. The newspaper article said that he left a note for his family that said he was doing what he loved; I hope his wife, daughter and the rest of his family and friends can gain some comfort from that. We will be forever in his debt.
