Fallen Soldier

A gentle giant with a heart that complements his compassion to help and protect humanity from the evils bestowed upon family and friends assuring them peace with a blissful ignorance that everything is sound. Protecting us, as we are a nation, from threats over seas, a natural leader is born from out of the ash, which consumes the hearts of most with a horror of death as he alleviates this fear with honor and bravery. Within his friends, which were spawned in the depths of the pines, lies a company of his fellow soldiers in this war of addiction, that will miss the laughter and wisdom he shared, allowing this adventure a bit easier to believe life in recovery is possible. Many people loved and cared a great deal for Gordon, as we shed tears of sorrow over the memory of this magnificent being that God blessed this world with proving that angels do walk amongst man As big as his heart was that helped and nurtured the people close to him, it was also the source of his tragic end as a mortal to this planet, but not the end of his soul, for he is a guardian angel on my shoulder and that of the people closest to him. He will always remain in the hearts of the many people he touched throughout the years and especially the men of Lebanon Pines.
