A Hymn for the Fallen

The Fallen Soldier Ceremony

As a soldier, I'm inclined to tell soldier stories, and my passion is in the video realm.  If you've clicked on the photo of me with the camera, then you may have seen the link to this short video I did for a fallen Special Forces soldier in Afghanistan www.warriorswithwrenches.com/f… . As I watch the current events in Falluja, I am reminded of it again and the fact that there will be more of these ceremonies in the near future.  The link to this soldier's particular story is here: www.groups.sfahq.com/20th/wood… .  The ceremony speaks volumes to the character of the man, with an entire camp lining up to pay respects.  It was hard (emotionally) just to edit the footage, but I think it is appropriate for people to see just that, the emotions of those who can be so easily demonized, and I think that we are lucky to be able to use technology to bring individual stories to life and share them.  I pray that the push to quell the insurgency goes well.

I wanted to thank you all again for seeing past any "politics" of the situation and just appreciating those who choose to be of service when called. That is all a soldier can hope for. I wish the best for those of you that have love ones deployed or on their way.
