Prayers sent...... it's a terrible reminder of what the armed forces do for us everyday. They scarifice their time and lives so we can live a better life. Thank the Lord we have them.

We owe so much to so many. We will keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm very sorry to hear of this. He died a hero and was keeping all of us safe from terror abroad. God has a special place in Heaven just for soldiers, he'll always be safe there.

Best regards, prayers sent.

Prayers sent. I have experienced losing a brother in Iraq and I can tell you it is surreal. Nothing about it makes any sense.

I hope this hero gets a hero's funeral without that dingbat church group picketing; saying that God killed him because he is punishing America for allowing homosexuals and abortions.

The next town over from us had a soldier killed in Afghanistan and the same group was planning to picket his funeral. There were about 200 motorcycle riders who came and stood on the outer perimeter of the funeral guests and lots of men who were ready for action. The church group heard that they would be held back from the crowd and decided it would best if they slipped out of town before the funeral.
