But it helps us all know Eddie a little bit better. It was wonderful to see him as obviously such a happy young boy. It warmed my heart. We didn't get to see him grow up but we always have felt like you and your family are just an extension of ours. I will be sending this site to many people I know to continue on with the message that Eddie started. His article "Hope Rides Alone" has been such an inspiration to many to continue to lift up all of our Service Men and Women in prayer whenever we think of them and see them here back in the States. God Bless You David and your family too. Thank You Jesus for being our Redeemer. My dear Brother-in-Christ David,

I wanted to let Eddie know that it struck a cord with me as a Patriotic American because it was so poignant and eloquent and true and I recall it was spoken in the words of a man well beyond Eddie’s years, even though he himself was only a few years out of his teens, undoubtedly because he grew up and had to lead in War. As you know I was heartbroken to hear that Eddie was killed in Iraq, like I am every time we hear news that we have lost more troops, but his death especially hit home because his message was so powerful and I was saddened that he would no longer be able to spread that message but then I realized and knew that it was only Eddie’s mission to deliver the message but it is our mission as Americans to carry it out. And we will. Don’t worry Eddie we will. Eddie’s moving powerful words will live on as his legacy, and I pray that no troop will be forgotten because of the message he helped spread. As a faithful woman I believe that while God may have called Eddie Home way too soon for us that his death was His will and Eddie is in the Arms of our Savior Jesus Christ. I don't know who stated that there are only two people in the history of the world willing to die for our Freedom, Jesus Christ and The American Soldier but it is my one of my favorites. Eddie was the latter and we are so blessed he will live eternally with the former. God Bless Eddie and the Jeffers family. Thank you Eddie for paying the ultimate sacrifice for your Country and may God's Peace Be With You All. You and every troop serving will never again ride alone. Very Respectively, Corinne C. Meadows Former Capt USAF, NC And proud wife to a husband currently serving in Afghanistan Sir,

I can't imagine it- I look at my own son and see him as Eddie did way back when- I pray I never have to go through burying him- but I also pray that no matter what, he will know Christ and do His will- the way you taught your precious boy- no matter the cost- God Bless you guys- I love you.
