To Jeff and the family of Brandon Davis, FREEDOM is not Free as you know. I think of a conversation I had with Jeff, his father years ago. Shortly after Brandons death he asked me " is it worth it" as I said then and I will say now, Brandon did not die in vain...there are many free citizens of Iraq because of the men and women such as Brandon. I can only imagine the loss of a child but yet I think that this young man died doing something he believed in. Any cause we believe in, enough to die for, is Extraordinary. I have cried many tears over our fallen...but I am Thankful that I live in a country of freedom that men and women such as Brandon are guarding that wall. I myself stood guard of that wall for 20 years, I am now and always will be grateful to any and all who serve. Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know yet it is a loss such as Brandon that we take time to thank the good Lord for the time we had with him. I never knew this young Soldier but I went to school with his Father and I know the caliber of young man he was, I am absolutely positive the apple did not fall far from the tree. This goes out to all who have never visited Cumberland, Maryland...There is a monument there - the first one for the sacrifices in the global war on terror. Jeff and the citizens of this Soldiers hometown erected it. It is a beautiful tribute to all who have served. Brandon I Salute you my friend! "Semper Fi" Gy Sgt Pat Burns USMC Ret.
