Fearless Caregivers


This past week our nation lost thirty brave young men in one swift moment as they were coming to the rescue of their countrymen.  Their deaths are a reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices made each day by the men and women of our military and their family members.
The armed forces are our country’s caregivers both here and abroad.   They leave their loved ones to serve their nation and protect our homefront.  This isolated event has left more than a dozen women heartbroken and widowed, more than twenty children fatherless, countless other family members and friends mourning and the naval community reeling from this immeasurable loss.
Let us keep all of them and their families in our prayers.  Let us respect their efforts and ease their sacrifices wherever and whenever we can.
