The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you...

To the family of Spc. Craig L. Nelson:
Craig gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

Your mom has become a very special friend to me and it's hard to think of the overwhelming loss she feels without your presence on this earth, but we all know where you are and I know I will meet you one day. I will say "an honorable job well done, Craig Nelson". You are in all our hearts forever. God Bless America and all its troops who protect it.
