Amoung The Stars ღ KKD ღ

Amoung The Stars  The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye, and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.' President Ronald Reagan from the Oval Office 1~28~86 I think this can be said of all of our fallen Astronauts and to those looking forward to the next launch God Bless and may He hold each of you in His loving arms.

Take the necessary time for grief, but keep in mind there is still much to be done. We are counting on you as being part of the American Super Heroes Team. Know that the hearts of the Nation are very heavy for the tremendous sacrifices made and the huge loss at the passing of these angels of God. If it is of any consolation these men and women died doing what they love and for something they believed in. We could all learn a very valuable lesson from this. Love and live each day as though it be your last. Enjoy this life and experience each day so that you look back on yesterday with no regrets or misgivings. Never let a day end with out letting your loved ones know how you feel and what a difference they have made in your life. And to our brave heroes ...
