One year ago today, October 7, 2005, the son of fellow IAP member "fiferb" Bruce Fifer laid down his life for his comrades and the United States of America. It is with this post that we honor Eric Fifer who died at age 22 in the line of fire in Iraq.
None of us can take away the immense pain experienced by a parent who loses their child. It is a burden that only Bruce and his family can bear.
We should be repulsed when we hear a professional athlete or movie star or politician called hero .... for Eric Andrew Fifer defines the word hero.
Bruce, please know that sometime today, each of us in IAP is going to shed a tear for your son. With the grace of God, you will somehow find a way to make it thu another day without your son here to hold you. But, when you're outside take a look up at the sky. You just may see Eric there floating with the angels.
