As a Marine who has a Marine father buried at Rock Island, a friend Brad, who is also a Marine, is there is well. Nothing would make my life more complete that to use the skills I have mastered to honor my brothers. I have lost friends who I think about everyday. I could finally honor them and all my brothers who have fallen. If I could do this every day…

It is our desire to serve wholeheartedly as if unto The Lord not men. (Eph. 6:7)

— Derek Jacobs, The Crossing Xtreme Tree Service

Both my mom and dad are buried in the Leavenworth National Cemetery so each time I visit I have to look to the trees and the memories that come. My folks instilled in me a fond love of trees at an early age. My dad planted a Tulipifera at my birth that later it’s canopy became my perch. My mom showed me trees all have names so we tried to learn them all. They all taught me to stand tall; hold tight and give solace. I consider this an honor to give back.

— Dan House, Tree Climbing Kansas City, LLC
