Our Hero

I just returned to Louisiana last night from Jacob's funeral in Nebraska. I want everyone who reads this to understand what a truly remarkable young man gave his life for the freedoms we enjoy in the United States. Please continue to remember Jake's family in your prayers. Jacob's big smile and beautiful voice are now brightening heaven.
