So sad!
Beautiful dedication, Tipper and family!
My heart goes out to the Edgerton family. Peace be with you!
Well what else is left to say except ditto to all the other comments. Breaks my heart everytime I hear of deaths of our young men and women over there. Your family have paid a beautiful tribute and am sure his familt appreciates it.
You know how I feel about this- I have been touched since Ane’s death ten years ago yesterday, so my heart goes out to the family and friends…
I have no words for this one, only tears.
A lovely tribute . . .
Oh, my heart goes out. Thanks for lifting him up. I am grateful to you, to him, to all who put themselves in harm’s way in the name our country.

beautiful song, beautiful voices and beautiful tribute
Tipper,
Thats simply a beautiful song. Your dad’s tenor blends so good
with Paul’s voice. And Mandolin
Man’s playing is an asset to all
the music.
My prayers go out to Sgt. Edgerton
and his family. I Thank him for his sacrifice to keep America safe
for our grandchildren. Ken
Thank you Tipper. And thank the rest of the gang.
