"Please meet Landon.. his dad Marine LCPL Andrew Carpenter made the ultimate sacrifice while serving on his second deployment with the 3/8 in Afghanistan earlier this year.. a month before his son was born. In the picture, to the right, Andrew Paul Carpenter's dog tags dangle from his dusty boots. A small Bible, bookmarked with his wedding announcement, rests on the floor beside them."
Thank you Paul for sending this in. Paul took the time to contact Crissie Carpenter (widow and mother) to run this post. Words on a web site will never do justice, thank you to the Carpenter family and fallen Andrew Carpenter.

Made me cry. As a spouse of a war-wounded combat veteran I can only imagine what Crissie has been through. May God watch over her and Langdon both.
Nikki, I don't know what you are going through, the heart break and tough things that you endure, however I still want to thank you for your sacrifice and service. Without you we would not have freedom
