Quote

I wish I had words to offer that would bring healing for Andy and comfort for his family - but my mind just keeps thinking of Psalm 20:7 'Some nations boast of their armies and weapons, but we boast in the Lord our God.' Andy, thank you for your service - thank you for your sacrifice. There is a country of men, women, and children who now have a chance to know the word Freedom because you brought them HOPE. My prayers will be for you tonight, Andy. Hoo-rah! To Andy's family and friends - all my respect.
- General Tommy Franks, U.S. Army (Retired)
