General George S. Patton once said "The boundaries of a nation are marked by the graves of it's soldiers." Indeed, it is not the politician that has made our country great, but the brave men and woman who have answered the call to duty. They answered, not because they had to, but because they felt an obligation and possessed a deep sense of honor and conviction. Although this brave man has been taken from us, he will forever be a part of us, and is alive forevermore with his lord, where one bright day he and his loved ones will be reunited forever. God bless SPC John A Lee, Jr., a true hero that has not only set an example for others to follow, but has raised the bar. His service reflects credit upon himself, and the United States armed forces.
