Post; War hits home


Well, I knew it would come soon, and it finally did. I lost one of my old Lieutenants to the war in Iraq. He got hit by a grenade while on convoy and died of his wounds.

I will be going to his funeral next Friday at Arlington. Please send prayers to his family and his new wife of a few months. It will be a very emotional day.

Well, I read it twice and words still don't come to express my feelings. What a loss for the world and a gain for God.

My good thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

*Content Edited* by admin.


My apologies if I inadvertantly overstepped the boundaries. I tried to impart my feelings without being too partisan about it, but I guess someone believes I didn't succeed.

Even so, we WILL be making more of these 'good thoughts and prayers' posts before this war is over.

AGAIN - my apologies.
