What kind of words do you say when they\u2019ve lost a son or daughter? One who dies a hero \u2013 of course, as they all do. But what do you say to them that\u2019s not been said before? Something the commanding officer has not said to them in their letter they send?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daniels continues, \u201cI just sat down and said, \u2018In my heart, thank you for raising a patriot, and there\u2019s so many of us that appreciate what he did and what you do, and what you\u2019re going through. I can\u2019t possibly know what you\u2019re going through, but I certainly sit back here and have sympathy and feel for you.\u2019 The Gold Star Families probably pay the biggest price.
