    I knew Alan while going to school in Gooding, ID. He was then and continued to be one of the kindest, strongest individuals I have ever had the honor of meeting. Hearing his voice and the softness that this decorated Marine has in his voice gives me goosebumps. Dawn, I commend you on your strength and the obvious depth of your love and support of your husband. And to Blake and Caitlyn, what a treasure to have your dad leave you something like this so you can always remember his voice and his love. My love to you all...Allison (France) Van Komen

    That, that has to be the truest thing I've heard in a while.

    Thank you for bringing the voices of the fallen here. The quiet grace of those who fight, the fact that they lived - loved. Were parent's, children and friends deserves to be remembered and honored. Politics has no place among the fallen - just loving faith and thanks for their lives and sorrow for their loss.

    Thank you for reminding me of this.
