The Coffelt family is brought to tears as the entire student body and staff of Butner Elementary school sings "God Bless America" during a ceremony to celebrate Month of the Military Child in the gymnasium, April 2. The Coffelts lost their loved one, Sgt. Ronald L. Coffelt, 118th Company, 504th Batallion, 16th Military Police Brigade, in Iraq, July 19, 2007. "The Coffelt children know what it means to serve this country better than most because they have made the ultimate sacrifice," said Principal Sharon K. Hall, a native of Durango, Colo.
