Yesterday two local heros were brought home. SGT Chad Frokjer and CPL Michael Nolan, both United States Marines. Anytime I hear of another KIA it weights heavy on my mind, but a Marine is especially difficult. Coming on the heals of a holiday is hard as well, I think of what the family was going through when the rest of us were celebrating without much care, much the same as our family on Easter.
Today, for the first time, Dave feels the need to be at the viewings to support the families. I have yet to decide what I am going to do. I know how it felt to have other Gold Star family members attend the services to show their support, but I also know how difficult and emotional it will be.
I probably will wait until the last minute to make that final choice, even as I sit here writing about it I am flipping back and forth. No matter what that decision is, I will be thinking of the families today and in the coming days and months, knowing the journey they must travel I will keep them in my prayers.
Rest easy Marines.
