Today's #NeverForgottenFriday Commemoration

​Since we've postponed our weekly Pre-Pledge Tributes during schools' summer break; and subsequently the 'Fallen Patriots to Honor' section of those tributes ... We plan to commemorate them on Fridays this summer.

Unfortunately, there was 1 military casualty in a Global War on Terror combat zone this week. US Army Sergeant First Class (SFC) / Green Beret Elliott J. Robbins was killed in a non-combat incident on Sunday, June 30, in Afghanistan's Helmand Province.  SFC Robbins, 31, from Ogden, Utah, was serving with the 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) out of Fort Carson, CO.

And, back on the homefront ... 

 ... unfortunately, three peace officers died in the line of duty - Detective Luis Alvarez of NYPD, Deputy Carlos Ramirez of Kendall County, TX, and Officer John Anderson of Nashville, Tennessee.

Please, pray for all of these fallen patriots and their family and friends in mourning.
