Gage/Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day.   The day where we remember our fallen soldiers and other soldiers who have died in service to our country.

I want to take today to remember the most special soldier ever: my grandson, Private Gage Krupovage.

Gage was the youngest commissioned soldier in America.  At 9 yrs old, he was sworn in as a soldier.  That was his dream to be in the military, to be a soldier.

Gagey died of Chordoma.  But in his death,  his sacrifice enabled other children to live through his organ donation.  His brain tumor was donated to the Chordoma foundation to study and help find a cure for this hideous cancer.

Gage was the ultimate soldier.  He died serving his country, serving the lives of children who get to "live" because of him.   

He may not have fought on the front lines of war...but he fucking fought like hell on the front lines of brain cancer.   His life was taken short, like other soldiers who die to soon....

I miss my little soldier so fucking much, my heart is so broken.

SO THIS MEMORIAL DAY I SALUTE MY GRANDSON.  THE GREATEST SOLDIER IN THE WORLD.
