Post a personal eulogy

On July 10, Andy was gravely injured by a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) while riding in a Bradley fighting vehicle. He was on an early morning patrol near Samarra, Iraq with his platoon. He survived until Aug. 9, 2004, when he succumbed to his injuries.

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. Hooah! To Andy's family and friends - all my respect. - General Tommy Franks, U.S. Army (Retired)
