Losing a friend in Iraq - Just want him to be remembered <S>
« on: February 23, 2010, 03:06:47 AM »

I lost one of my good friends and the best person I ever knew in Iraq.  He always pressed his uniform, his house was always spotless, he didn't drink, do any drugs/tobacco, and always ate healthy food.  Most of all he was very religious and loved God.  His favorite bible versus was Psalms 23 and 91.  Please read his story and remember him.

His parents are in this picture http://news.tennesseeanytime.org/system/files/Brenda%20%2526%20Bill%20Emmert%20Parents%20of1st%20Lt%20Eric%20Emmert%20DSC_0081.JPG

This picture was taken at the burial

The greatest human being that I have ever known  :salute  Eric Emmert you are not forgotten 

Thank you for reading his story and keeping his name alive  :salute

TnDep,

I have no words to offer that may ease the pain, only the promise that Eric Emmert will not be forgotten.

<S> Eric Emmert, may you rest in peace.
