		<title>Bob Markham– American Hero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bob’s mission was small, placing the flags on those graves in Riverside National Cemetery every Saturday, but so great and honoring in the lives of families left behind. Bob’s vision of America and its military was “old school” in some minds. ]]></description>

		<title>The Flags</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I say we’re fortunate for 2 reasons; one because our son Rhys is buried there and two, because being in the vicinity of a cemetery dedicated to our military veterans is a constant reminder of the sacrifices Americans make for their fellow citizens of the US and fellow citizens of the world.

		<title>Trusting the Plan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trusting in a plan we cannot see is hard.  I don’t understand the plan where my son never reaches 21, where I never get to see him again, where he doesn’t get to hug his little girl.
