"I was briefly Moises's Platoon Stateside before we deployed. On the day that the Good Lord brought him home, he and I had breakfast together. He was a kind hearted Marine from the time I knew him. A little on the goofy side but in a good way, the type that got people laughing and smiling. I know he's up there now at Heavens gates keeping the Marines on guard light hearted and vigilant. Thank you to his family friends and loved ones and take comfort in knowing he's never really gone just moved on. Living forever with the Lord and in our hearts."

"Moy,
Watching the news about bin Laden, I couldn't help but think of the war and of course, you. I cannot believe it has been over 7 years already. I don't think of you nearly as often as I used to, but enough to realize what an important part of my life you were. Seven years later and you're still on my mind every few days. Imagine if we could have gone to the same school and been even closer. Hee, then we really could have been an unstoppable force. :) I still miss you so incredibly much and will always love you."

"To the family of Moises A. Langhorst:
The Fort Snelling Memorial Chapel Foundation will be honoring your loved one at the non-denominational Memorial Day Sunday worship service at 11:00 a.m. on 29 May. We will remember the casualties of the Global War on Terrorism from Minnesota … and the neighboring states of Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Outside of the historic Fort Snelling Veterans Memorial Chapel will be a “Memorial Garden” filled with white crosses bearing the names of the war dead … including your loved one.
I would like to extend to your family an invitation to honor us with your presence at worship as we pay tribute to the sacrifice made by your service member and family. Our pastor, U.S. Army Chaplain, LTC Kenneth L. Beale, Jr. will preach a message entitled “Remembering Our Freedom.” A former Soldier and country music songwriter and performer “Rockie” will pay a special musical tribute. At the conclusion of the worship hour, all of the congregation will be invited to silently pay their respects at the garden and place poppies at each of the crosses. An honor guard squad will be on hand to fire vollies as the US flag is lowered to half-staff and Taps is played.
As this Christian worship service has traditionally been well attended, we would be happy to reserve seating for you and yours. To do so, kindly call (612/970-7866) and leave a voice message indicating your veterans’ name and the number of persons attending. If you are not able to attend, we pray that you would find comfort in knowing that our prayers are with you and all of the fallen heroes.
Respectfully,
