Does anyone else notice a commonality in the events involving muslim gunman. The so-called religion of peace has an ugly side that justifies the killing of innocents. There is a reason that the Middle East, the birthplace of Christianity is almost devoid of Christians. Islam exterminated them. Religion does matter and until we take the threats of radical Islam seriously, many more people will die unnecessarily.

My best wishes go out to the families of the victims of this terrorist attack.

If we would stop being politically correct and face the fact that Islam is not a peaceful religion, these tragedies could be avoided.

What a sad time in our country. Not only are we at war over seas, but we have war here in our own backyard. My prayers go out to this courageous man's family.

I offer my condolences and thanks to the Mike, Teena and their family. Even if those in the highest circles of our government may not give their full support to our military men; we wish to thank you and your son for his selfless service to our country for the freedoms we still enjoy. Our prayers go with you during this time of great sacrifice and words cannot express our sympathy and thanks to you and your family.

so sorry for your loss. We lost a daughter last Dec. and burried her on Dec. 20th. It's never easy to loose a child. They are your life and blood. I do have to say that I believe he will help you more every day of your life as your heart is opened to him. He will never leave you really and will be in your heart. He didn't die in vain. His time was spent doing good. We never know when it's our time to go. Being left behind is so difficult but I do believe he will be actually closer to you because he will be in your hearts forever. It doesn't make the pain any easier. Accept all of the stages of grief. He will be your anchor when you need it most.

I knew this family growing up before they moved to West Jordan. Mike was my scout leader and the whole family is just great. I hope they can be comforted and know that their noble son died in the service of his country, and even though the circumstances are sad and shocking, this young man is a great example of a patriot and someone who loves his country. Thank you for your service Aaron.

Your son is and always will be a hero in the eyes of those who love freedom and value good deeds. What a wonderful young man, you will see him again in glory and the endless happiness that can only be found in the eternities. Sincerest condolences and best wishes to his family friends and relatives.
