A Tribute to the Fallen

Today a soldier comes home. He comes home to a crowd of family and friends. He comes home to a town that is honored he was one of theirs....But Lt Cpl Travis Nelson came home in a coffin...wrapped in the stars and stripes of Old Glory...at the age of 19. He fought for a country he believed in and a town who believed in him. He was a casuality of war, its true, but he gave his life for our freedom and safety . He gave his life for the freedom and safety of a people who he did not know. He did it because it was right...it was right as a human being and a Christan. It was right in the eyes of God. So he came home a hero. He is an American Hero. He is a Hometown Hero. He has earned his place in Heaven and in the hearts and minds of the people of Atmore, Alabama. May God hold and keep those he left behind in his loving arms. GOD BLESS THE FALLEN. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.
