We'll be having the memorial service today for the 3 soldiers at 2:00 pm, so it just over 2 hrs. They're providing childcare at the chapel so thankfully I don't have to line that up for the boys, although Jacob was asking if he could attend, but I'd just rather let him be carefree for and play vs sitting with all us adults with the heaviness of sadness over us.

 

One one of the soldiers was a husband and Daddy. The other was married to a German national, from the town we're in, no children, the 3rd was a single soldier who's left his grieving parents (not sure about siblings). We have a 4th who's on life support at Landstuhl right now, and he's stable but critical.
