Speechless Sunday: Welcome Home Spc. Nicholas W. Newby

This week I paused from my work to pay tribute to one of two local young men who lost their lives on August 7, 2011 in Baghdad, Iraq.  The procession from the airport to the funeral home went right past my office. It was with a lump in my throat that I watched the family cars following the remains of Spc. Nicholas W. Newby as the procession went by.  My son, Spc. Dallas Rankin Scharf, walked away unhurt from the blast that killed his buddies. 

There but for the grace of God, go I.

It must be overwhelming to have this sadness hit so close to home.  So sorry for all those who lose such a precious family and friend.

I have some good friends that live near the Willamette National Cemetery here in Oregon and it is so sad and you have to stop for a moment when ever you hear the gun shots for our fallen every time we are over.

I’m so wanting all these wars to come to an end. Those people don’t want us over there, they’ve been fighting for thousands of years, and the cost of trying to give them help that they don’t want is just too high.

Know that every night your son, and others with him are part of our thoughts and prayers....as are the families who had loved ones that paid the ultimate sacrifice.
