Staff Sgt. Russel Slay, USMC, graduated from Humble High School in 1994. He enlisted in the Marines and has re-upped twice since. All he wanted to do was serve his country.
The 10-yr. Marine was killed Tuesday, November 9 in the Al Anbar area west of Baghdad.
He earned the sad distinction of being the 100th Texan to die in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Thank you for sharing this information today.
Please, Father, Bless and Comfort the family of Staff Sgt. Russel Slay as they struggle to cope with their grief. Please hold Staff Sgt. Russel Slay in your loving embrace as you welcome him home. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
