Dear President Bush
My name is Nyla Fernandez,mother
of CPL. KYLE K. FERNANDEZ of Pearl City, HI.,whose young
life was recently taken in war,in Miam Do,Afghanistan. My
son was killed on Oct, 14 ‘04 when the humvee he was
driving,(while on convoy),ran over a landmine which killed
him and his passanger,SGT.BRIAN HOBBS of Mesa, Az.
The loss of my son is so very
devastating,my pain is so great that it is unbearable at
times. I don’t think anyone will ever know what kind
of pain a parent has to go thru’ when they lose a child,especially
this way,he was so healthy,vibrant,a young man of 26 with
a young family, he had his whole life ahead of him,so many
plans,all he wanted to do was to finish his tour and come
home to his family,he was suppose to come home on Dec. 7th
to spend Christmas with the family (R & R) he never
made it home to us. I have a younger son ,he just enlisted
in the Army,he said this was something he had to do,worrying
about my children will never end for me....
I too am a Christian who loves
Jehovah God and has great faith in his word,I believe war
is not something that God wants for us,but because of all
the evilness in this world things are, as they are!
My son was a person that loved
his country and believed in what he was doing,he believed
that he could make a difference, he was doing this for all
of us,not just his family, for us all,You never knew my
son,but KYLE was a special person, he too believed in and
loved God............He would call us and tell us of the
children of Afghanistan,of how they lived and that they
had nothing,that they ran around in dirty clothes,with no
shoes on their feet,it moved him so much that whenever he
came across these children he would give them his water
and snacks,he said it made him feel better to see them smile,even
if it was temporary, and that his own children were very
fortunate to live in the United States.,it really made him
realize that we live in a great country and that we should
not take for granted all the priviledges we have here in
America. Yes, he really did alot of growing up while being
there.
My prayer is that all Americans
recognize all our Fallen Soldiers, for the sacrifice they
have made for their country and for all of us who call ourselves
Americans! We all have the priviledge of living in freedom
because of these brave young men and women,we should all
give them and their families a great big "Thank You."
For they truly made the ultimate sacrifice. All these men
and women put their worries and concerns on the side for
one year (or more) to defend their country which they love
,these young soldiers put their lives on hold for all of
us!! And sadly some of them never make it back home. It
is because of what these brave soldiers have done and are
still doing, we live as we do! FREE!!!!!!!!!!
Jo. 15:13 NO GREATER LOVE THAN
THIS,THAT ONE WOULD LAY DOWN HIS OWN LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.
