Lobo59, words fail in expressing the emotions felt upon learning of this loss, but they are all we have. Please, accept my deepest condolences. Please accept my deepest gratitude for the service of your grandson.

RC, thank you for letting me know about this.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We have learned of the loss of this young man in an accident while he was being transported in one of the new Stryker vehicles. Father, we mourn his loss. Please wrap him in your arms and take him to a very very special place in Heaven. Please convey directly to him the gratitude we have for the service he gave this nation and those who love freedom on this planet. Assure him that we shall not forget the sacrifice. Father, he stepped up to the plate and was willing to place himself between his loved home and the war's desolation. He is, by coming forth when his nation was under attack, wearing the uniform, training, and being deployed, one of our genuine heroes.

Father, if there is anything to be learned about this new Stryker vehicle because of this accident, then let the lessons be learned so that the sacrifice of our young friend may not have been in vain. We call forth your holy angels of protection to please surround each and every Stryker vehicle, tank, humvee, car, trailer, airplane, jet, motorcycle, train, ship, boat, and all conveyances used to transport our troops.

Father, we join lobo59 and their family during this time of sorrow and mourning. Father, bring forth your angels of comfort and healing to surround this family. Grant them a measure of true joy and true peace during this Christmas season despite the devastating loss. Father, we have come to trust the profound caring you have for each of us. You ARE our beloved Father, and you have never ever given us a stone when we have asked you for Bread. We are grateful for your Will outplaying in our lives. We may sometimes not fully appreciate your Plan as it unfolds, but grant us a measure of faith and Vision to stay hallowed in a sphere of trust that all will be well.

This which we call forth for lobo59, we call forth for all who are grieving the loss of a young person who will not be coming Home. We continue to call forth the mitigation and minimizing of all loss of life of our troops as much as your great Law will allow. Grant these families a very special Christmas miracle of your love and healing.

Amen
