Army Pfc. Timothy J. Seamans
20, of Jacksonville, Fla.

Tags: tampaSeamans joined the Army right after graduating high school last year. He knew he wanted to serve his country - like his father, a Navy veteran. “I gave to my country and at the same time so did my son,” he said. “But he gave more, and if I could trade places with him I would. No parent should have to bury their child.”

A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. But…there is no word for a parent who loses a child, that’s how awful the loss is!

You are so right Meredith. Please remember Tim and all the fallen and their families in your heart and prayers.
