A co-worker of mine has lost an inlaw in Iraq. The exact relationship to him does not matter. I come to you and ask for your prayers for his family. What fallows is his name and info that is already in the media.

You can go to the Seattle times or any site of your choice if you want information on other MIA's POW's or Casualties.

My purpose for the post is to ask for my fellow Freepers to pray for the Family. It is not known if he was married or not, as this is information from a co-worker and the young man is related to his wife. If I learn more I will let you know. All this has been posted with the blessings from him and his wife.

Prayers sent

[Zavien Doombringer]

Prayers indeed;

Our Heavenly Father, We are in agreement today that you may send your comforter to the families of those that are in conflict in Iraq. We ask that your Spirit be on those that have lost loved ones in this time of crisis. Lord, we understand that there will be things we cannot know or understand and we place our trust into your will. Your will will be done.

We ask that you bless our soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen that are in the conflict and protect them from harm, Bless our President and our Government, our Country and the people of the United States. We look forward for your blessings and the end of this conflict.

In Jesus' name we pray,

AMEN

I plan on printing out this post with all the replies and give to my Co-Worker, his name is Carlos. If he wants he can send it to his relatives to show how much we all respect their sacrafice. I just learned that the young man comes from a long line of marines from WW2 and beyond. They have sacrificed the ultimate so that we can be free.

There are people that stand around and look and there are people that stand around and talk, but the people who are sacrificing in this war are the best....they don't stand around ...they DO...they ACT......

May God bless your loved one, and you, and remember, there are those of us out here who are heartily thankful.....who will forever realize that we are in debt to your son, and the others who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our well-being....

Is there a way we can keep this up to get a lot of Freepers to join in the prayer fest. I am not quit sure how to keep this going.

[OldFriend]

Prayers for all who loved this young man.

Prayers for a hero

[Zavien Doombringer]

I don't know..I am still new to FreeRep.

[goodnesswins]

Prayers for this hero and his family....he died for our freedom, and that of others around the world.

(Kayak might be able to "ping" some people to this...)

May God bring comfort and strength to the family and friends of Cpl. Randal Kent Rosacker.

As President Bush said yesterday, "we thank God that liberty found such brave defenders." May there be some small measure of consolation for his loved ones in knowing that a nation appreciates the sacrifice and is grateful for the loyal service of this fallen hero. May Randal Kent rest in peace in the loving arms of God.

[Howlin]

Done.

[Inspectorette]

kay, thank you. Prayers for this hero, and all of our heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

[kayak]

Prayers for the families and friends of all of these heroes are being lifted up. May God comfort those who grieve even as He welcomes these fine young men to their eternal Home.

Prayers for a hero and for those he left behind. We will never forget.
