BY Anonymous on Mar 23, 2008 | | | | The OAK Tree......A mighty wind blew night and day. It stole the OAK tree's leaves away, then snapped its boughs and pulled it's bark until the OAK tree was tired and stark. But still the OAK tree held it's ground, while the other trees fell around .......The weary wind gave up and spoke, " How can you still be standing, OAK ?.......The OAK tree said, " I know that you can break each branch of mine in two, carry every leaf away, shake my limbs and make me sway. But, I have roots stretched in the earth, growing stronger since birth. You'll never touch them, for you see, they are the deepest part of me.------Until today, I wasn't sure of just how much, I could endure. But now I've found with thanks to you, I'm stronger than I ever knew."--------Thank You Staff Sgt. Reinke for keeping America safe. But most of all, I salute you for your love of country. Loving her some much you were willing to give it all. I just wish you did not have to take the ultimate fall-----GOD BLESS-----William E. Meyer U.S. Army Retired Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on Mar 23, 2008 | | | | A Whale Story.---I've been thinking about something I could write hear as a testimonial, but I cannot find the right words, but I was sent this by a friend, and instantly thought of The Reinke Family, so I would like to share this with all of you, knowing Gavin will already know this.---The Whale.---If you read the front page story of The San Francisco Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.---A fisherman spotted her just east of the Favralone Islands ( Outside of the Golden Gate Bridge) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her....one slap of the tail could kill a rescuer....They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.----When she was free, the divers said, she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around.----She thanked them. Some said it was the most incredible, beautiful experience of their lives.....The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth,says her eye was following him the whole time, he will never be the same.----May you and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate, to be surrounded by people who will get you untangled from the things that are binding you. And may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude. I pass this on to you in the same spirit.Cathryn Yashar, San Diego, Ca.

BY Anonymous on Mar 23, 2008 | | | | TAPS....TAPS the most beautiful bugle call, known as the most eloquent of all.----Not only to signal the day is done, but to say goodbye, to a comrade, brother, or son.----A melody so hauntingly profound, a piercing yet peaceful sound.----Sounded over every soldiers grave, to honor those who were so brave.----Soldiers raise their hands to their caps, saluting the fallen as the bugler plays TAPS.----Rifles are fired in the sky, to say farewell to another American G.I.----Listening to the bugle play, reminds us of the price they had to pay.----The sound is bittersweet, letting go of a hero, to someday again meet.----Nothing is ever more touching perhaps, or can render emotion like the call of TAPS.----You can hear the bugle weep, where men of valor sleep.----Tears from a bugle fall, as TAPS is played, for the heroes who gave their all.----Thank You, Staff Sgt. Reinke for giving your all to Defend America and Freedom. I just wish you wouldn't have had to die. I salute you and most of all I am grateful to you for my Freedom.----Martin Bryant WWII Veteran Louisville Ky. U.S.A.----P.S. You are probably wondering why so many tributes from Louisville, Ky. ? Well just because we are grateful to you.

BY Anonymous on Mar 23, 2008 | | | | Freedom isn't Free....I watched the flag pass by one day. It fluttered in the breeze. A young soldier saluted it, and thyen he stood at ease.~~I looked at him in uniform, so young, so tall, so proud,with hair cut square and eyes alert, he'd stand out in a crowd.~~I thought how many men like him had fallen through the years. How many had died on foreign soil? How many mother's tears ?~~How many Pilot's planes shot down ? How many foxholes were soldier's graves ? No-FREEDOM ISN"T FREE.~~I heard the sound of TAPS one night, when everything was still. I listened to the bugler play and felt a sudden chill.~~I wondered just how many times that TAPS meant "Amen" when a flag had draped a cofffin of a brother or friend.~~I thought of all the children, of the mothers and wives, of fathers, sons, sisters, and brothers with interrupted lives.~~I thought about a graveyard at the edge of town, Gavin that you wouldn't see, of all the graves of fallen soldiers. No-FREEDOM ISN'T FREE.~~Thank You again Staff Sgt. Reinke for my freedom. I just wish you did not have to pay the ultimate price. ~~Bob Mattingly U.S. Navy Sgt. Retired

BY Anonymous on Mar 23, 2008 | | | | EAGLES~~To bring down evil, some must fall. To fight for right some answer the call.~~To help the oppressed, some give up their time, their homes, their lives, they're eagles not doves.~~To keep peace for those in need, some go into wars of just we read.~~To keep us safe, it's soldiers we call. They will all give some and some will give all.~~ Thank you Mr. Reinke for my Freedom. ~~Hilda Bryant Louisville, Ky.
