To start your service to your country at 18 years of age speaks volumes about her character.
To her family hold your head high and be proud of her service. I can’t imagine what it is like to lose a child, the pain must be overwhelming. But you have numerous fellow LE in prayer for you. We pray that the Lord gives you comfort in knowing she now resides in His kingdom.
