I can only imagine what you are going through. As a father of a son deployed twice to Iraq and blown up twice by IED's, two more sons right behind him I dream about this day often. The nightmare has come to life for you and all I can say is I am sorry and say prayers. Makes me feel insignificant compared to Elijah and his buddys who are volunteering to take the fight to the people that want to kill us. I know he will be joined by many after him and is joing a special group of people that have come before him that have done amazing things for our country and mankind in general for the past 234 years. I believe god has a special section for our military in heaven. Your son is special, they are all special, it takes a certain kind of person to do what he has done, unselfish, honorable, responsible, coragous, and just knowing what it is to be a plain old fashioned good American. Hang your Gold Star proudly. I will be thinking about you and your family for a long time, god bless you and your family and take care of Elijah.
Navy Mustang quote says it best for me.
"For those who manned the battle line the bugle whispers low...and Freedom has a taste and price the protected never know
