Capt. David Boris

To those that loved him,

Another anniversary of his loss. Another Veteran's Day of memories. He remains in our thoughts and our hearts.

A great man and a great leader of men. His devotion to his command and those who served under him are memories that remain.

Keep him in your hearts and he will live forever.

I salute you Captain.

Dear Al, Diane and Jennifer,
Veterans' Day has come and gone, but know that you and your son/brother, David, were on my mind, and in my prayers. David gave the ultimate sacrifice dying for our freedom. But you too gave the ultimate sacrifice of your only beloved son and brother. Thank you for your continuing sacrifice. May David's memory be eternal!

Not a day goes by that you are not thought of. A great person, American, friend. Until we meet again on Fiddlers Green, RIP.

To the family and friends of Capt. David Boris:
Please accept my remembrance of David on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

To the family,
As I opened face book I seen CPT. David Boris and was overwhelmed by emotions as I stared at his picture. It was an honor to be his Platoon Sergeant; he was a great leader on and off duty. As a person I always thought of him as a friend and looked forward to severing with him in the future. CPT Boris might have left this life but I promise he will never be forgotten.

Hey Sir, one day we will be on tanks again, you’ll lead and I will follow…

Doesn't it figure...I make sure I keep a list of dates so I won't forget and I still missed your anniversary Dave! You know the Blackhawks will always think of you and do why we can to keep your memory alive. You'd be proud to know that L. White is being promoted to LTC. Francis and I will make the trek to support the team for us all. RIP brother, see you on the far side.

To the family:
May the comfort from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and may you find comfort in the words found in the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

hey Dave...sounds funny but LT isn't appropriate and you were destined for much more. Anyways, just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you today. I'm sure you are missed by many. You will never be forgoten though-for as long as I live. Rich and I still talk about our days together...those were some really great times. Peace.

To the Family, I had the honor of reading the name David A. Boris on June 20 this year at the Illinois Freedom Run and Mideast Conflicts Wall Memorial in Marseilles, Illinois. I offer my deepest condolences on the loss of such a fine Man, Soldier and Warrior. Having lost my Son in Iraq in Sept. of 08, I know the pain youall are enduring and I send my deepest love and respect to you always. They will never be forgotten.

Today as the flowers of spring are beginning to fade and as summer is beginning to send its warmth upon the earth, Captain Boris is remembered. He, and men like him, will not be forgotten. As the mountains that rise upon the earth remain, so will his memory forever be in the minds of those that knew him. He died in service to others. His spirit guides those who were left behind. Captain Boris goes forward for he will forever be in our hearts. Thanks David. We love you.

My deepest sympathies go to the families of CPT Boris. I did not know him, but his committment and dedication to his unit seems to not be forgotten. He will always be remembered.
An Army Captain Mom,

LT, Yesterday was a long day...not that every day doesn't have some thoughts of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in them. I hope the family has gone through the worst of the grieving process, it seems that is something that will never be "over" though. Your memory will stay on the high ground...forever. We will never forget. R.I.P. Sir!

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 laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know David, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

To the Boris Family,

I wish to add my thoughts and condolences to those noted by Dion Atchison's mother, Diane Atchison Sherwood in the initial entry of this guestbook.

I remember you son from his freshman year at West Point when I would visit Dion Atchison. He was polite, cordial, solid and a good roommate for Dion.

It is so difficult to understand and accept this tragedy...it brings back the dread and fear that parents feel when their son or daughter goes to combat.

It also reminds me of the stellar courage and maturity that the cadets then soldiers show. It can deeply respected, if not fully understood.

I deeply wish I could offer more solace in this time of duress.

Bill Atchison PhD,
Parent Class of 1999

Dear Boris family, As a West Point parent Class of 1999, I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. David roomed with my son his freshman year at West Point (Dion Atchison). You shared your home with my son at a time when I couldn't be with him. Our family grieves with you. Ironically, my dining room table is full of West Point photos that I am sorting through. I'm sure David is among them. The fresh faces of strong men and women, full of hope and driven to serve, marching in crisp uniforms and studying to be the best our country has to offer. Friendships formed at West Point last a lifetime, and David's legacy will live forever. You must be so proud of David's years of service. He is a Hero who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe and he will always be remembered. God Bless you.

Hey Mr. Boris! We all miss you! I will always remember how funny and nice you were when I saw you on post. I feel good knowing you're up there in Heaven with my dad, safe and happy. Thank you

As I sit here all safe and warm in America, I know that it is because of men like Capt. Boris that I am able to do so. Thank you David. Though I didn't personally know you, I consider you a friend. And greater love has no man, than that he would lay down his life for his friends. You will be remembered and your sacrifice honored. To your family, our love and support during this time.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the death of Dave. I was an exchange student in Pottsville Area High School 1991-1992 and played soccer with Dave in the varsity team. I liked Dave very much and I was very sad to hear about his death. He will always be remembered and I admire his courage and I know he died fighting for a good cause.
Love Nick

My heartfelt sympathy to the Boris family in the loss of David. I did not know David, (I lived in the Easton/Bangor PA area 52 years) but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. David you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace
Tom

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

To The Family and Friends of CAPT. DAVID BORIS, We are so very sorry for your loss and send our deepest sympathy. We want to say Thank You to David for being our AMERICAN HERO! Thank you for fighting for all our freedom, that isn't free. Cheirsh memories always, may you keep them close to your hearts. David will be with you now, and always. One of God's Angels that he has taken home to be with him. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless. Sincerely,

To Buddy and Diane and all of David’s family; I’ve just heard the devastating news of your loss. I can’t even imagine what you are going through.

The healing process will be long and painful, I know; let your precious memories of David and the memories from others help you gradually mend.

I hadn’t seen him since he was a toddler so I have had to put together an image of the man he turned out to be. After reading the messages in the guest book, it’s obvious that he was a very special person and touched many hearts and souls in his short lifetime. These hearts and souls are all the better for the experience and it’s inevitable that tributes to David’s character, decency and integrity will be passed on through all of them. This is one of the ways that we are never truly gone; he will live forever.

Here in my new hometown’s airport there is a home-away-from-home area that has been set aside for military that are passing through and for family and friends to wait. I’ve made it a habit to greet any I meet and thank them sincerely for what they are giving of themselves. At my age I’m usually in tears by this time especially when they tell me that they felt honored to serve.

You raised a hero; he made the greatest sacrifice a man can make for his country and freedom. Your pride must know no limits.

Now strive to raise your head so that when he looks down on you, he will be equally proud of your strength and courage.

Bless you all.

We would like to express our condolences to the Family of David Boris. We are forever grateful for the sacrifice David made. You are in our prayers. Mr.and Mrs.John Poslosky

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your loved one.

He is an American hero and will not be forgotten.

Jaime, the Pavao and Boris Family,
I was terribly saddened to hear of your loss. There are many good thoughts and prayers with you right now, including mine.

To the family of Captain Boris:
Thank you for this precious child. Thank you for bringing him up to be such a brave man and soldier. I lost my youngest daughter in September. I only wish there was something I could do or say to you. Such a devastating and intense feeling for those they leave behind, but, fortunately, they are now at peace. I send you my love and my prayers.

Betty Kearney and family

Dear Buddy,Diane and Jennifer,
My heart and prayers go out to you at this most difficult. May God take you into his his arms and cradle you with his love.

To all of David's family and friends, my deepest sympathy. I remember David when he was a little boy visiting his relatives in Branchdale.

To the Dear Family of CAPTAIN DAVID A. BORIS, Pottsville, PA,
We share your grief in the loss of your cherished husband, son, grandson, brother and friend who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the love of his Country. May God grant you both physical and emotional strength as you overcome the numbness of losing such a precious soul. He is in God's care.

A friend from Pottsville sent me the news of your son's supreme sacrifice. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Our service men and women have a special place in my heart as do West Point Cadets and Graduates.

May God console your grieving heart in this great loss and send you His peace and comfort. You are in our thoughts and prayers. With Deepest Sympathy

The Final Roll Call

We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part
God has you in His keeping
We have you in our Heart.

Peace be with you.

We would like to offer our deepest sympathies for the loss of such a friendly, intelligent and remarkable man and fantastic officer.Ann Marie and I lived in Jamie and Dave's building in Wurzburg and I worked with him while in Germany and Iraq. I'll miss him and pray for Jamie' and she and Dave's family in this time. Thanks, Dave.

We are sorry for you lost and will keep you in our prayers.

Dave was one of the best men I've ever known. He was a great person and I cherish all the time I was fortunate enough to spend with him. My thoughts, prayers and love got to Jaime, Al, Diane and the rest of Dave's family.

Dear Jaime,
I am very sorry for your loss of David. Losing someone very close to you is not an easy thing to get through. I lost my cousin/best friend 10 yrs ago this Feb, and it is not easy. He was killed just off base in an accident. I did not know David well, but feel awful knowing a classmate of mine lost her husband. He will be remembered as a hero. Take care of yourself and if you need anything, please don't hesitate to e-mail me. You are not alone.

To the Families of David;

Our prayers are with you now, and in the future. David is safe now,.. and at home in your hearts,and memories.

To the Families of David Boris,
May you know David is home now safe and he will always live in the hearts who knew and loved him. There are no words that can take this pain away that you feel. I know this pain because I am living it myself.

So sorry for this terrible loss. I had not been aware that he was a West Point grad. He surely was one of the best. May his family find comfort in his memory

Dear Al, Diana and family
Our heartfelt sympathy. With
thoughts and prayers.
Tom and Marilyn Landers

To the Boris Family,
All of us at Mt. Shadow share in the extreme sadness in your loss of David. The world was a better place because of his loyalty and devotion in his service to the United States. He will be remembered to all because of his committment to protect others all over the world regardless of their nationality. May you all be comforted in your loving memories and by the concern of our nation for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during your sorrow.

Diane, Buddy and Jen,
There is no words that we can say to comfort you. We are so deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved David. We didn't know David as a man but remember him fondly as a boy.
I think of you every single day and ask God to give you strength to get through this tragedy.
David made you proud of him, may these memories bring you comfort.
Annamary & Rich Krasnitsky, Maria & Joe

I've been watching the story about your loved one, Cpt Boris, on the news and felt compelled to offer you my heart felt condolences as well as those from my family. My brother, L. Cpl Dennis J. Veater, 20, was KIA in Balad, Iraq on 3/9/07. I prayed that others would not have to suffer like we are, but unfortunately, God has chosen all the good ones to go to heaven with him. Keep your memories close to you and try to recall all of the good times you've had as a family. Those cherished thoughts will help you get through the day.
Cpt. Boris, thank you for your service to our country and your fellow soldiers. Your duty is now done, rest in peace and watch over your loved ones, especially during this holiday season.

To the Entire Boris Family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of a wonderful person who went to war and no one deserves to die this young, but we don't have the answers and maybe someday we will. Vera, my Mother knew you, and Diana I knew you when you were growing up in Branchdale. Please remember that God has raised your loved up on Eagles Wings and will carry him in the palm of his hand. We all feel a place in our heart even for a man we did not know. God Bless the entire family as we continue to pray for all of you.

My thoughts are with your family at this time. Those who have already entered this Guest Book have already attested to the greatest of our country and to those who serve. God Bless.
Semper Fi.

I am formally from Ashland, PA

My husband served our great nation in Vietnam, Gulf and Enduring Freedom. Our cousin's son, Josh, a West Point Graduate is now in Iraq.

We understand and thank you for your service. As it is said a grateful nation thanks you.

Jenn, Boris family and all:

Please accept my deepest sympathies in your loss. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all.

Our Deepest Sympathy at your loss. You can be so proud of what he accomplished in his far too short time here during his journey on earth. We are able to do so much in this country because we are free because of men like Dave. God Bless You. George S. Lord USAF [1966-1972]and Jean Lord.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

Jaime, the Boris's and the Pavao's,

I hope that you can take comfort in reading the fond words left in the guestbook by both people who knew Dave and also by families from across the country who have gone through what you are currently going through.

I truly believe that Dave left a lasting impression on everyone he came in contact with.

I know words do little to ease your pain at this time, but I hope you can take a little comfort in that so many people are grieving with you.

God Bless you Dave and may God bless Dave's family and friends and lead them through the days that lie ahead.

God Bless you all.

To the Family of Cpt. David Boris:

My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you. I truly feel the utmost sympathy for your loss. My heart is so sadden.

I began my early years in Minersville as a graduate of St. Stanislaus Grade School. Today I am a Retired Lieutenant Colonel, Army Nurse. I understand David's commitment and dedication. It's a common bond we military soldiers share.

There is some spirit so strong that gave David the courage to do all the great things he did. Find comfort in knowing that he lived his life driven by his determination and his beliefs. The world will be a better and safer place because of his military commitment. He is a true Hero!

May God Bless You and Comfort You!

Sincerely,

Marilyn (Michelcavage) Haffey,
Retired, LTC

Let us not grieve the passing of David's life but let us all celebrate for having known the hero that he is and that we all may be better people for having known him in the short life he gave to his loved ones and his country. He gave his life fighting for the freedom we all enjoy, even after he is gone. May God bless us all and let us know that David is resting in the arms of his Lord.

The Boris Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time in your lives. May your wonderful memories help bring you comfort and peace. With our deepest sympathy, Paul Leonard and Sherrill Brennan

All of my thoughts and prayers are with Capt Dave Boris and his families. Dave was a great guy in high school even back then he was a leader and I have nothing but fond memories of Jaime and him when we shared time together in yearbook. He will always be reguarded as a true American Soldier and hero of Schuylkill County. God Bless you in this difficult time

To give ones life in the name of another is the greatest sacrifice that one may give. To dedicate your life to defend those who cannot, is called a HERO. With sorrow and our deepest sympanthy on the loss of Your son, CPT David Boris. OUR HERO.

Jamie,
I am very sorry for your loss. I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through. My brother-in-law has served two tours in Iraq and we worry about him constantly. Know that your husband did this country a great service. He is gone from this Earth but will always remain in the hearts and memories of those who loved him and whose lives he touched. If there is anything you need please don't hesitate to ask.

May God bless you and hold you close to His heart in this time of need. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord lift His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

David, may God grant you a peace even greater than the peace you fought for for us in this world, thank-you so much for you helped make this world a better place for our children.
Al, Diana, Jamie and all his Grandparents may the peace of God that passes all understanding keep you in these days, and know that through Jesus Christ The Son of God you will all meet again.

Jaime, I can not begin to express my sympathy for your loss. Dave was a honorable man, always willing to help anyone with anything. He was deep in his convictions and was always a leader. He died protecting all of us, but mostly trying to fight to protect the next generation. He will always be with you, you may not realize it right now, but someday when your least expecting it you'll feel him all around you. May God give you strength in the days ahead to help you get through. Your strong, Jaime that's why Dave loves you. He will be missed.

Do let me speakand do believe my speech! THINKING OF YOU, IN THIS SAD HOUR, Sharing your sorrow too, Seeking in vain for kindly words, To help and strengthen you all.
Sincere Sympathy

The West Point Cadet Prayer:

"O God, our Father, Thou Searcher of human hearts, help us draw near to Thee in sincerity and truth. May our religion be filled with gladness and may our worship of Thee be natural.

Strengthen and increase our admiration for honest dealing and clean thinking, and suffer not our hatred of hypocrisy and pretense ever to diminish. Encourage us in our endeavor to live above the common level of life. Make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong, and never to be content with a half truth when the whole can be won. Endow us with courage that is born of loyalty to all that is noble and worthy, that scorns to compromise with vice and injustice and knows no fear when truth and right are in jeopardy. Guard us against flippancy and irreverence in the sacred things of life. Grant us new ties of friendship and new opportunities of service. Kindle our hearts in fellowship with those of a cheerful countenance, and soften our hearts with sympathy for those who sorrow and suffer. Help us to maintain the honor of the Corps untarnished and unsullied, and to show forth in our lives the ideals of West Point in doing our duty to Thee and to our Country. All of which we ask in the name of the Great Friend and Master of all.

Amen

From one West Point family to another, we will include Capt. Boris' name with the other fallen USMA graduates we pray for, today and for all time when we, like they once did, say the above prayer.

Thank you for being the embodiment of the ideal: DUTY - HONOR - COUNTRY

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Jaime, the Boris family, and the Pavao family. Dave was a true American hero who made the ultimate sacrifice. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. I am truly sorry for your loss.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. MY SON SERVED WITH DAVID IN BERMEL AND HE WANTED ME TO RELAY HIS CONDOLENCES TO YOU AND TO LET YOU KNOW THAT HE WAS HIS FRIEND AND MENTOR AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL

As parents of a fellow fallen hero PFC Justin W Dreese, KIA 9/2/06, we wish to express our deepest sympathy for the entire Boris family and friends. Know that you will see him again someday when you crossover, he is a peace watching over everyone as is Justin.

God Bless You All!

The Boris Family
Our hearts and prayers have been with you all and will be with you on Wed. My favorite passage and comforting to us when Cyndi died is in the Bible in 2 Tim 4:7, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith," etc.

May the Lord wrap His arms around you and comfort you.
I did not know this young man but I employed by the Army and we are always deeply saddened when we loose a Warrior. I pray that the family finds comfort in knowing that many people are sharing their grief.

I sat by Dave in homeroom thoughout high school. He was good-natured and considerate person. He used to help me with homework or classes I was having trouble with. He was always willing to help whenever I asked. I am truly sorry for your loss. The world needs more people like him. Please take some comfort with the knowledge that he answered a calling greater than any of this world. God Bless.

Jamie, Boris, and Pavao Families...

May God Bless you at your time of need and may he help you get through this difficult time. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Dave's family and friends. I am saddened by your loss.
I will always have great memories of the times I shared with Dave on swim team, lifeguarding, and the trip to Paris & Madrid in high school.

I was very saddened to hear of your loss. Although Dave graduated a year after me, I remember him as a very determined, intelligent, and friendly individual. My family greatly appreciates his service and ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Though I did not know David personally, he will always be a hero to me. Nothing I can say will take away the pain that you feel right now. Please accept my sincerest condolences and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.


Sincerely,

The Boris Family,
I offer my deepest condolences in your lose. Your Son served honorably, distinguishably and was a true warrior. It's an honor and privlege to serve along side someone of that nature. May he rest in the hands and Love of the Lord.
GOD Speed to you all.

God Bless you Capt. Thank you for protecting our country

Dear Diane, Al and Jenn,
I remember when you lived a few houses down from my Grandmother and Aunt Rosalie Novack. Jenn, David, myself and my brother bill all used to play in the back yard or used to go to the pool or playground together. Then David went to Pottsville like myself and Bill. He was a great guy. I will keep you all in my prayers. God Bless You All.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. As parents of a son deployed with the 173rd in Afghanistan just as David was, we share in your grief. May it console you to know that David is being well taken care of in Heaven where there are no wars, no sadness, no tears but only eternal peace, happiness and joy. God bless you all; you will remain in our thoughts and prayers for some time to come...

A hero yes, an angel yes to watch over your family from above. God Bless you David & Thank You for your dedication to allow us our freedom! You will not be forgotten.
Spc.5 Edward G. Shannon(Vietnam 1969-1970) & wife Chris...friends of your Uncle Joe and Aunt Peg

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry for this loss. He will not be forgotten.
My deepest sympathy to his loved ones.

I can't even find the words...I lost my 19 year old son--5 Sept 2007, Balad, Iraq. I am absolutely devastated and I know that you are too...but find comfort in the fact that we will see our loved ones, our heroes again. Do I wish that I could trade places with my son? ABSOLUTELY not. He is in the arms of our Lord--"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away" ~Rev 21:4
What a wonderful thought...
May God bless Capt David Boris, God bless you and your family and God bless America!
