As many of you know my son was in that explosion last year and there were men there that day that saved his life by responding to a situation without concern for their own safety that we have named "Eddie's Angels". This month those men were honored and given the highest award ever given on that base for their heroic act that saved my sons life and I can not let that ceremony go un noticed to those who have prayed for Eddie and his angels. What happened that day (May 4, 2005) was a traumatic event for those men that gave them nightmares for a long time and they need to be reconized and honored whenever and where ever possiable.
I ask you to save these newspaper clippings to your computer and enlarge/magnify to read, then delete if you want to. I just want you to read it. It is so well written that it is a must read! This ceremony is the first time Eddie had met ALL these men although George Page had been to see Eddie and check on him many, many times. This is from the newspaper The Gazzete Journel in Gloucester, Va on April 13.
Sadly, we had no input as to when the ceremony took place so I was on the boat, otherwise, I would have hocked my house to be there!
Regina and I met these men early into it to thank them our selves and to give each and everyone of them a hug. We had baked and baked and took them a hudge platter of baked goodies and took pictures... he, he, he... I was told NOT to post this picture at that time but now that it has been published in a newspaper, I would say it is alright to do it now, wouldn't you? What struck me about them is that they are all, ordinary men who just went to work that day and became hero's before the day was over by saving a mans life. Here is a clearer shot of Eddie's Angels and the men you also prayed for.
