Remembering The Brave Legacy Of Valor Ceremony | Guardian Of Valor
Some of you may remember the other day on our Facebook page, we did a write up about a profile using the pictures and identity of two of our Fallen Heroes. Mrs. Rachelle Vaughn is the widow of one of those Fallen Warriors, Sgt. Richard Allen Vaughn, who was killed in action on April 7, 2008 in fighting in Sadr City, Baghdad Iraq.
Mrs. Vaughn does volunteer work with a non profit called Remembering the Brave. It was started by a LTC who was a Casualty Assistance Officer. Every year they hold a ceremony to honor the families of the fallen to thank them for their family members sacrifice, and to let them know that we haven’t forgotten. This year, they are holding the first ever childrens ceremony, called Legacies of Valor. they have had several vendors donate misc items to auction off. Proceeds will go directly towards goodies for the children of our Fallen!
The Remembering the Brave Foundation is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to preserving the memories of our brave service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and honoring their families in their time of enormous loss. You can view their website here Remembering The Brave Website
They will be holding an auction from August 31st-September 9th, Proceeds will benefit the 2012 Remembering the Brave – Children’s ceremony in October.

This is one of my favorite poems of all time, some of you may remember it from the movie Hamburger Hill:
If you are able, save them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes
you left behind.
