Hi there!
This is ~~~Nancy!
Our hearts break for the families of the 13 fallen United States service members who died in the attack in Afghanistan. On behalf of all of the people who have no platform, I am so very sorry for your loss.

Eleven Marines, one Navy corpsman and one soldier were "killed as the result of an enemy attack while supporting non-combatant evacuation operations," according to a Saturday press release from the Department of Defense, which released the names of the U.S. troops.
To the famlies of the 13 fallen members of the United States Military, from me, Mrs. Nancy Gurish.
Your sons, daughters, husbands, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters or friend, did not die in vain.
First off, I am so sorry that you have lost your family member, my heart is so heavy in sadness for your pain.
On behalf of myself and my family, I am so very sorry.

The first thing that I feel while writing this is to say that I am no one, in particular at all on this earth. I am not a person of note. However, I run this magazine, Your Health And Tech Friend, so I have the ability to write an open letter, and for it to be seen.
So, on behalf, also of the many people who would share if they could,
I am so very sorry.
My husband and I live in Cleveland, Ohio, I've been running this website for the past 10 years.
We've enjoyed so much freedom in this country, for so long and it is easy today, to see that we take it so very much for granted.
My husband and I live in Cleveland, Ohio, I've been running this website for the past 10 years.
We've enjoyed so much freedom in this country, for so long and it is easy today, to see that we take it so very much for granted.
The reason for our freedom is that people, like the 13 who lost their lives this past week, have given us the ability to be free.
Actions, such as these men and women had taken, joining the United States military, training and serving, is what brings us our freedom. No matter how long they serve, or where and in what capacity, it is the joining, the willingness to serve, that affords us this freedom.
I had much more to say today, but this is enough for now.
God bless you so very much, and your families. You have all
lost a hero this past week.
Their lives should not have been lost!
But they certainly did not die in vain.
Sincerely yours,
Nancy Gurish,
Editor

On another note! A friend of mine explained to me the importance of soaking and chewing apricot kernels.
I've put together a video that explains how to do this and, why you might wish to do this if you are using apricot kernels for your health!
