I had the honor of meeting Noah once in high school. I never really knew him although my husband, played football with him for a few years and knew him as as a friend. His death has impacted us greatly. Our prayers are with his family and friends. One thing I have learned from reading about this great American Hero is how he loved to help others; what greater place to be, in heaven, where he can do the most to help and watch over his loved ones. I had the misfortune of losing a baby once and even though my tradgedy was nothing compared, I found comfort in knowing I would see him again. Thank you for your sacrafice.
