Last night we had two "Gold Star" families over for dinner.

We met them under the worst of circumstances when each of their sons was killed in action in the Middle East. The families were my constituents. Of courses, some of the conversation revolved around the daily torment a parent of a KIA son or daughter undergoes and some of the services and organizations like TAPS provide. I guess I just want to say that we should remember these families in our prayers even though time has passed since the events. Time passes quickly but the heartache does not.

Then today I noticed the attached preview of a movie coming out in December called "Lone Surviver." You may recall the book. We are also close with Danny Deitz's parents who recently returned from a special preview that the studio held for parents of the Seals killed in that event. Mr. Deitz told me the movie appeared to be a good representation of events.
