| Spc. Lee Adair was not just an amazing friend to me, a devoted husband to his wife, and a loving father to his unborn child…he was so much more; he was an AMERICAN
HERO that died so others may live!
There’s no greater gift on this planet than the gift of life; and Lee knowingly went into the Army Infantry during a time of combat, knowing full well the danger he would face and the responsibility his tasks bore. That’s what made him so great, his courage in the face of danger is so rare now days; to put your self into a position of danger to alleviate the suffering of others is awe inspiring! I hope time heals the pain that his wife, child and family are feeling; because time is the only way for such a deep wound as this to mend. I love you Lee, and I look forward to the day that I walk through those “golden gates” and shake the hand of one of the closest friends I’ve ever had. I salute you…my HERO! |
