Your sacrifice will remain in our hearts for a lifetime,
with intense gratitude. May God bless you and your family.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms.
We cherish too, the Poppy redThat grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skiesThat blood of heros never dies.

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 loves, 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 give all.~~Thank You Spc. Micheal E. Phillips for giving it all to keep America safe. Deepest Sympathy to the family of Mr. Phillips.~~Chloe Coan Louisville Ky.

TAPSTAPS the most beautiful bugle call,known as the most eloquent of all.Not only the 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 meet again.Nothing is more touching perhaps,or can render emotion like the call of TAPS.Tears from a bugle fall,as TAPS is played,for the heroes who gave their all.Thank you Mr. Phillips you have given me the freedom I enjoy today. Freedom never comes free. I am so sorry that you had to die.Sincerely yours,Sydney Meyerage 10Louisville, Ky.

There beside a grave she stands.A folded flag clutched in her hands.A silent teardrop on her face,her brave young child, has entered grace.She does not hear the sermon said,just memories run through her head.The child she held so long ago,the child with faith she let go.The child who heard the nations call,and in the end gave it all.Without fear or thoughts of self,thoughts of freedom and little else.A bugle sounds TAPS in the wind,a mournful sound it does send.A reminder to us all, that for freedom,this price was paid,and her sweet young to rest was laid.Deepest sympathy to the family of Mr. Phillips.May the love and memories carry you through these very difficult days.Norma CoanLouisville Ky.

Dear Soldier (Mr. Phillips)I am grateful you chose to go when others said the cause was wrong. You did not turn your back in order to help in some way bring about peace. I am grateful for you because tonight I can sit down and eat a warm meal. I am grateful to you because of your sacrifice I can say" I do not like war."This is without worrying that my door will be kicked in and I will be dragged away. Mostly I am grateful to you because of your sacrifices, I am reminded once again of what it is I have. For this I am grateful to you, because I can go out and say absolutely the dumbest things, and do so because being dumb is no crime. I am grateful to you because I get to sit down with family and friends and have a meal in peace. I am also grateful to you because if I think that a certain politician is a fool.....I can think it without being lined up against a brick wall and shot.There are many things dear soldier (Mr. Phillips) that I am grateful to you, because of the fact that you did not say no. Peace be with you and all of yours and most of all I salute you, because I am grateful to you dear soldier (Mr. Phillips)
