Here’s a toast . . .

The third verse was sang at our base today in honor of those who lost their life. Our flag has been lowered, and the environment is somber as we mourn the loss of our brothers and prepare to add names to our wall of fallen graduates.

My heart breaks for the families and friends of those killed in this accident. I didn’t know them, as they were stationed at another base, but I am reminded of the risk that those who come through my flight kitchen are faced with, be it accident or enemy intended. May they rest in peace, and watch over us all from above. It is a reminder that our lives are short and fleeting, and can be gone in an instant, should God wish it.

I ask that everyone welcome them home, and be there for the families who have lost their loved ones. I’d be there if I could. On a side note, it isn’t mandated that the President has to order the flag to half staff in the event of these deaths, or that of the Oregon shooting (upon which it has already been decreed, and the half-mast status ends tomorrow, 06Oct15). It is, however, a sign of respect and honor (again, both in the C-130 accident and the shooting) to be flown in such a manner. The governors of states may also appoint flags at half staff, so be on the look out, though I do believe you may fly your personal flags at half staff should you wish it.

It’s outrageous that our American flag hasn’t been lowered to half staff in Washington for these courageous warriors. I will lower mine.
