“It was in his blood. He was born to be a soldier,” said Brooke Comfort, the wife of Army Captain Kyle Comfort. "He was a leader who died 'doing what he loved.' Kyle’s main purpose in life was to make a difference, and he really felt like we were making a difference over there.”
These are the words of a brave young wife and the mother of their 6-month-old daughter, Kinleigh.
As we've honored our heroes, we run across story after story of those who have fought and died on the battlefield for their country.Who have donned a uniform and taken a vow to protect this country from its enemies. It is truly heart-wrenching...
Recently, Mark Titre, the Founder of God Bless The Troops and I had an opportunity to go on the radio* and talk about what our organization is doing for the troops and their family. To put it simply: to honor brave fallen soldiers like Kyle Comfort, and show their family that we remember them. That he, and his family will not be forgotten.
Sadly, as shown on The Faces of the Fallen page of our website, in the month of May we have already lost fifteen young men. More men than days in the month...
They are sons, husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles. They each have their own brave story. They each have loved ones who are now walking the path of sorrow as they seek to come to grips with their loss. We personally wish to acknowledge them.
By the generous support of an unexpected supporter**, we were able to honor Army Captain Kyle Comfort's family with a framed print... This is our second fully-funded nationally-shipped framed print to date.
It is our prayer and passion to reach out to every family.
If you would like to send a framed print to a family, please visit our website for more information on how you can be a part of honoring our brave and fallen heroes.
