Words from a Fallen Soldier

Adam,  Your friend Stephen McGowan was a selfless person from the sounds of it he was thinking of bettering the world one child at a time.  Thank you for your post .

Don R.

Nice post Adam. Your friend was clearly very special. Clearly he touched a lot of people in his short life - and beyond.

Thank you for the timely reminder of what this holiday is all about.  Your friend was a a very special person.

Thank you for the post.  I often think of my friends who lost their lives serving for our Country.  Your friend sounds like a really special guy.

I echo Don's comment Brett.  Stephen sounds like one heck of a human being.  There's something to be said for that type of unselfishness.

Wow, Brett. This guy had it right. I had never heard of the Beanie Baby soldier until now. I'm so proud of him. That type of selflessness and humble sense of humor...you were blessed to be his friend.

This has got to be my favorite Memorial Day post, so I flagged it for feature. You should consider adding it some groups...like Fraiche Aire. Take care!

Brett - What a beautiful tribute to a fallen hero. Remember his life and all he stood for. Thank you.

Adam,

I just watched the video that your friend Stephen had made for the second grade class. It was really incredible. Also he is very lucky to have a friend like you, by keeping his memory alive, and we were lucky to have Stephen fighting for us to make the world a better place.

Your friend sounds like he was a special person, thanks for the great post!

Adam, I am seeing this long after originally posted, but it still is a powerful message. Sorry for the loss of your friend.
