Remembering and honoring the hero I wear on my wrist. Two years ago my husband and I went to Ft. Benning and we made a bracelet for a soldier that was killed in his unit and then each wanted to select a fallen hero that we didn't know! Even though I didn't know SSG Rivera I think about him and his family everyday! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, please know this warrior will never be forgotten!

We will forever love you, think of you, and have you in our hearts, just as we do with Ken. May you and Ken be having a grand old time in Heaven, and thank you both for your ultimate...

On this day my heart still aches for not having you here with me, many time I call your name as I'm serving a meal or on a middle of a conversation. Vanessa call me today she misses you dearly.
