The ultimate sacrifice made

Home comes the hero; upon his shield.

God bless you Lance Corporal Farias.

God Bless your family and keep them safe.

UPDATE:

I have posted a video from You Tube made to honor Lance Corporal John Felix Farias.  A young man who died in the service of his country.  Too soon, Lord too soon.  Semper Fi.
