  • SPC. JUSTIN LINDEN (22) CLINTON 6.4.04A man who rode upon a star has made his mark, by living life in a cosmically comical way,Justin Linden was lucky to know the joys of life,and in doing so he brought life to all that lived thru his humor,even when he never tried, Justin would make others laugh,often times until they cried.Justin was however a serious man, rising to challenges, that never seemed to slip thru his hands.he would grab a hold of what he thought was right, and dream about better tomorrows, more than most of his nights.Justin Linden is a hero for ALL, living life at what seemed to be, a higher call.Now that the world knows Justin Lindenâ™s name, can we all live life the very sameA missing part of ourselves has been lost,left behind was so very much, let us build upon what Justin started,because we have ourselves, are remnants of what he departed.Itâ™s not doom & gloom till the end of days, Justin Linden knew this,Not at the end, but at the beginning of his worldly stay.That is why humor was obviously a large part of his life,somehow it has the power to overcome, grief & strife.So, dream about better tomorrow,during our long lasting nights,and hold true to the American Spirit, that helps ALL birds gain flight.K.V.B. 02.10.2012
