“too many Americans take freedom for granted, expecting it as constant a force of nature as the daily rising of the Sun. Fortunately for all of us, there are men like Special Forces S.Sgt. Neal Bolin, who stand watch at freedom's door; protecting us from the demons of totalitarianism; ready to sacrifice their own personal comfort and safety for ours. For them, liberty is not a given, but the goal of a very real and dangerous struggle. This past February 12, Staff Sergeant Bolin lost his life, while seeking to preserve the life and safety of others, on a rescue mission for a plane missing in the jungles of Panama. I was honored to attend services for Sergeant Bolin, and to pay respects to his life and family. The people of Georgia and the Nation are grateful to Neal Bolin for the sacrifice he made. We are also grateful to his parents, and to his widow, for this American hero. While Sergeant Bolin's young daughter has lost a father, our country benefits from the new chapter in the annals of military service and dedication written by her father.”
