    I went to highschool with Steven. I remember the day he came into art class our senior year and told me that he enlisted in the army, I remember being terrified, but he was so excited about it. We had been friends since freshmen year, I moved to Denver, and I heard about this recently, I am so sad for the family, his mom, his older brother chris, and the rest of the family. he will never be forgotten by my neither my family or I. Thank you steven for your dedication to our country.

      I to served during Vietnam, but never actually in country. But my respect for those who gave all, and yes, all gave some. I lost friends in Nam also, and even now at 72, I still cry every time I see a fallen soldier, airman or marine coming home for their final salute.

      @@billyjoe415 thanx Billy, I was 173rd ABN/Ranger. I was at Dak To and every day was a miserable day for us. Everyday someone or several good men left laying down. I am finally over it but the memories linger for us all. My dad (career army man WWII and Korea) once said tome that I may leave the war but it will never leave me and those words resonate with me when I watch these videos. Ism so glad you did not have to see and endure that carnage but I know inside you felt it. Thank you for your service and may God Bless you.

      It's been a minute (!) since your comment - thank you for trying to make it right. So many of us just don't know the proper way to show our respect, both to the Serving and to the Fallen. Please know there is NO disrespect intended by our lack of knowledge. Some of us just weren't smart enough to serve at the right time, and never had the opportunity to learn Military Respect. For that I will forever regret.
      I can say I was blessed to be part of an Honor Guard for our Sheriff's Dept and used my musical skills to play TAPS for a number of Heroes. I thank God for the chance to pay my respects in that way.

    The fallow ground of liberty must be replenishing by the blood of patriots that those who do nothing may yet know freedom. Sgt Steven M. Packer was such a patriot and we are enriched by his sacrifice and service. I will make sure my grand-daughters remember his sacrifice for them and all who live under the umbrella of freedom provided by such men and women. It is often asked, "where do we get such men as this?" I say they are the sons and daughters of America. God Bless and keep you Sgt. Packer.

      Vince Gill’s 1995 album When Love Finds You, “Go Rest High On That Mountain.” A song that has almost become a funeral and memorial service standard in the minds of many, Gill started writing “Go Rest High On That Mountain” after the death of country singer Keith Whitley in 1989. The last line of the first verse contains the title of Whitley’s biggest hit, “I’m No Stranger to the Rain”:
