Aaron finished up wby talking aabout the burning of the man.. and the temple burn He \u00a0told a very moving story about fvisiting the Temple and finally being able to say good bye to a good friend of his from ho served with him in Afghanastan. He&#8217;d watched his friend unravel and finally commit suicide. He hadn&#8217;t found a way to say good bye to his friend&#8230; He wrote his friend a long letter and committed it to the burn. and felt the closure he was looking for.. it was a deeply moving story.. and you could tell the audience appreciated it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_5174-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
