They were some of our best. Where will we find others to fill their shoes? They are not so easily replaced. We thank them for their service, and we renew our gratitude to all those who put their lives in danger to protect the rest of us. Soon, many more of us may receive that call to step up and fight. When that time comes, we must remember these fallen heros and draw inspiration and courage from their sacrifice. So sad.
