Aloha means we welcome you, it means more than words can say
It s just like a love song
With it s haunting sweet refrain
Bringing us joy, bringing us pain.
Aloha means farewell to you,
Goodnight at the end of day.

For Military Soldiers Who Have Died or Served Our Nation Honorably
DRHaney (06132020) (Revised: 08162020)
And as he walked hand in hand with Jesus to his new quarters down Heaven's Military Hall of Valorous Honor, he fell to his knees and sobbed. Looking up into the face of our Lord Jesus Christ his escort, through his joyous tears of great happiness and pride, he spoke... "Dear God I am Home!" All the Angels, Saints, and Apostles who aligned the Hall stood in silent praise. Great men of Valorous Honor are so very special. May God Bless your loved ones who hold you dear to heart and soul Brave Soldier.
SHE APPEARED:
She walked down this same Hall, after the many years of waiting to be with her husband once again, knowing that one day they would meet and the "Arrow of Love" that had pierced their hearts binding them through life unto death on Earth, would strike up those enchanted feelings once again, this sacred time for eternity. Jesus placed her before her husband and, all the joy of Heaven sang into their souls, as the Heavenly Choir rejoiced them for their bond, now in the hands of Jesus, and Blessed by the commanding voice of Almighty God!
Heaven´s Military Hall of Valorous Honor, open its doors for the three... just as it had to greet her husband. This time many Gold Star Mothers, and their husbands, stood proud and silent along that hallowed corridor, as the heroes of yesteryear drew their Golden Swords in grand salute to their entry as they moved down toward their final destination. At their entrance into their heavenly abode, both knelt looking into their Savior´s beautiful smile, he kissing Jesus´ right foot; she kissing His left in adoration. Jesus gently stroked their heads and at that moment they both felt love beyond any such emotions they had ever experienced on Earth. As He stretched out his arms for both to stand before Him, leaving their presence as he beckoned them to enter their new home knowing the incredible experiences they now would share together that lay ahead. They were complete once again, and the universe of stars, the destiny of their crowned souls now expand to the incredible knowledge that lay before them. And Heaven's Choir of Blessed Angels sang out to clear their path.
