God bless Lance Clark and all the troops and their families.
Freedom is not free. Thank you Lance for your sacrifice, it was not in vain. Thank you to Lance's family for allowing their son to sacrifice himself for the freedom of others. May God be with you and comfort you.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." (Matthew 5:4)
