I just wanted to give you all an update on my dad. He is in his last weeks now, after fighting the most courageous fight this past year. We know that this was because he is a Marine and never gives up. But now, his body is tired and he is struggling so much. His doctor is amazed that he has held on this long and knows it's because he is such a fighter.

He is not able to see well anymore to read (macular degeneration) but still enjoys getting cards (read to him by my mom). If anyone is interested in sending him a greeting, private message me and I will send his mailing address. If I can, I am asking for continued prayers for my dad, my mom and for the rest of my family. God Bless! and Semper Fi

I'm former Marine - VN combat vet - artillery up on the DMZ. Please give my regards to your father and tell him he was one of my heros - and still is.
Something else you might relate to him ... in the movie Full Metal Jacket, Gy/Sgt Hartman says the following during graduation:He'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Semper Fi ...

PRAYERS GOING UP!



“The Twenty-Third Psalm
Mahalia Jackson
(Click)


The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."

Psalm 23 -KJV







Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
