ARRIVAL CEREMONY AT ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE OF OUR FOUR FALLEN AMERICANS IN LIBYA............

At this 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time, the formal transfer of remains Arrival Ceremony for Ambassador Chris Stevens, and his three diplomatic colleagues, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods,who were murdered on Tuesday, the eleventh anniversary of 9-11; in the violent attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, is taking place.  After an introduction and invocation by the military chaplain, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks biographically of the four fallen heroes.  She introduces President Barack Obama who begins citing Sacred Scripture's greatest definition of love, "to lay down one's life for one's friends",(John 15:13) illustrating how the lives and sacrifices of Ambassador Stevens, Specialist Smith, and retired Navy Seals Doherty, and Woods, emulated the greatest love.  The Ceremony is a moving ritual of remembrance and acknowledgement affirming that amidst the sadness and sorrow of their senseless killings, that the purpose and dignity of the lives they lived, and the mission they were committed to carrying out, will not be forgotten.  And the words of the Commander in Chief and the Secretary of State reiterate our national resolve to see that justice is delivered to those responsible for the deaths of these four American patriots............Fr.  Troy
