It's painful to look at that picture and see the fear and despair in his eyes.

Lord, give your angels watch over Thomas, and let our soldiers rescue him from the enemy. We ask this in the name of the resurrected Jesus. Amen.

His expression in the photo looked to me as if he has come to terms with his situation. When I saw his expression on the television camera, it sent a chill up my spine. He is one heroic Mississippian. He stated that his convoy was attacked. He gave his name and said that was all he was going to say.

There were no tears, no pleas, just kind of matter of fact. It took extraordinary courage for him to react like that with a hooded punk pointing a piece at him.

Obvious, it is a tragedy, that he was captured, but he sure made me proud to be an American.

Now if they will only let the Marines finish the job, maybe we can get him back soon. My guess is that if harm comes to him, I wouldn't want to be an obstacle in front of the Marines.

Meanwhile, looks like we need a lot of prayers. I'm grabbing a rosary.

Happy Easter to all and God Bless America.
