It speaks volumes about what Memorial Day 2010 is all about. And it reminds us that for every fallen hero we remember, honor and thank for his or her service to this country, is a real life story of a heartbroken family left behind&#8211;wives, girlfriends, mothers, fathers, siblings and children.<br \/>\nShe posts John Moore&#8217;s own words about covering Arllington National Cemetery and shares two other stories of the family members left behind. These are out of the 5,400 stories of our Iraq-Afghanistan fallen soliders.<br \/>\nThis video of soldiers being brought home is heartbreaking. We pray for those who have been killed in service to this country and the families who must now learn how to go on without them.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border:0px;padding:0px\">\n<tr>\n<td><font>Fallen Army Sgt.
