Ok, so Rachael's Ramblings didn't quite seem appropriate for some reason, because I do plan to be more "concise" than my normal ramblings (we'll see if that happens!)...

So, thought this was appropriate for the current focus I'm thinking of...

Anyway, here is the explaination:

Mike wrote me an email, about 2 weeks before he was lost...telling me about his unit's first casualty....and this is what he said to me ---

“That was the strange part; you don't drop everything and go home when people die or get hurt. You still have your mission, and you can't run away and give the enemy the chance to do it again.” ~ Cpl Mike Lindemuth, USMC

And so, that's what I've been trying to hold onto...when I spoke at his funeral (which I hadn't planned on doing)...all I could get in my head was this email...so I read it to everyone...and I asked them to find their mission...whatever it was meant to be...and make it happen... that was my challenge, and Mike's urging, to them....complete YOUR mission...

Every person that falls, well, a piece of them lives on, every day, through each and every person that knew them...so in theory...they never die...because their legacy lives through each of us...
