John Thomas Wrobleski, Lieutenant U.S.M.C

His mother | 8 April 2004 | Joe Boucher

[Joe Boucher]

Last night due to severe wounds from battling in the Sunni Triangle on 6 Apr 2004 my nephew and personal hero John Thomas Wrobleski succumed to his injuries.

J.T. was a lieutenant in the U.S.M.C. He joined the marines 2 days after 9-11. He was born and lived in the north of New Jersey and joined after having many friends in the twin towers perish. 7 months ago he was married to a most wonderful girl who is now a widdow. He leaves 3 brothers a mom and dad and about 50 other family members and hundreds of friends. When he returns we as a family will come together to celebrate this American heros life. Thank you all for your many prayers and may GOD protect our brave American troops wherever they are.

I am so sorry for this tragic loss.

May God bless the soul of this fine man and may God look over his family and friends during this time of sorrow.
Your nephew's death was not in vain. He was a hero.

Joe, I'm as sorry as I can be to hear about this. I want you to know that I consider him to be my personal hero as well. I entered this thread hoping this wouldn't be what it was about. It's a personal loss not only for you, but for all of us, when we lose good men like this.

I advocate some pretty tough use of munitions on occassion here on the forum. I do so, because I happen to feel that if one US soldier's life would be saved, it would be worth it.

I am sorry that our troops are under fire these days. They are facing problems that I think it would be hard for any of us to face. My heart goes out to them and my heart goes out to you and the families that must sit and wait.

Plattitudes go flat at a time like this, but you can rest assured that I will be thinking of Lieutenant John Thomas Wrobleski U.S.M.C. in upcoming days and realizing that he has now joined some very elite people who sacrificed all for our nation.

May you find comfort on this issue. Again, I am very sorry to hear about this.

I really don't know what to say. I don't have the words needed to express my saddness at your loss.

Know that you and Lt. Wrobleski's family are in my prayers.

Joe,

My deepest sympathies and prayers for you and your nephew's families.

PS 27:3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.

PS 27:4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.

May God watch over your family and give you peace in this time of mourning.

I ask this in the wonderful name of our saviour, Jesus, the Christ.

Semper Fi!

When we think of those

With whom we've traveled down life's path

Let us not say with sorrow that they have left us

But rather with gratitude that they were once with us.

My deepest condolences to the family of Lt. Wrobleski and my utmost gratitude for his service to this greatest nation on the face of the earth.

Rest in Peace, Lieutenant.

[Fyscat]

I am truly sorry for your loss, but please know he gave with courage.
