Pictured here represents six we lost while we were supporting a platoon in
their outfit. There is a connection between BNL and these six forever. Their
sacrifice is the ultimate sacrifice. Your small sacrifice to support them
with donations, food stuffs, and comforts of words from home cannot be
understated. You shared a bond with these men that you never knew.
They may
never have known you, but because you took a little time and money they did
know that someone at home cared about them. Cared, that they were serving
their country; Cared, that it meant enough for you to show them your
support. It still means a lot to those that are there. Let this picture
remind us that we must continue to sacrifice at home to support those of
our countrymen who sacrifice everything to serve their country. Taps...
