Steve and I went for a drive this morning and came back home to get the camera. People were getting things set up for Jared's funeral this afternoon and some of the officers were already arriving. The route from the school to the cemetery is lined with flags and a huge flag is draped over the entrance of the cemetery. There are just so many flags everywhere.

We are just a little small town of right around 1000 people, but the support everyone is showing the family and all soldiers who are still over there or about to go is so overwhelming.

I don't know how the family is able to keep going. It's so sad and they are such great people.
