| Picture is precious and the story behind it - we should never forget! God bless Marine LCPL Carpenter and his family! I have to say, to me, this is the most touching, heart wrenching, meaningful photo. Meet Landon...His father, Marine LCPL Carpenter, gave his life defending our country in Afghanistan earlier this year, a month before his son was born. Baby Landon's Mom wants his story to be known. Take a moment and reflect on the price of freedom. Never forget the price of freedom... |
