My Son May be Dead

Posted on 11/01/2004 5:38:38 PM PST by american_ranger

Tomorrow I and my wife will vote for George W. Bush. Tonight, I heard on the radio that an Army soldier was killed in an ambush in southeast Afghanistan. My son is stationed in southeast Afghanistan. I checked Fox news and they have an article about a US soldier killed and two wounded in a patrol near Orgun. My son is on a patrol near Orgun. I do not care if it is him, tomorrow we will still vote for Bush. God bless America and God bless President Bush.

I have not told my wife. She is worried enough that Kerry might win. She does not need this additional worry.

If it is your son, my sympathies.
The man is someone's son, a fighting man, a warrior, an American Patriot.
My sympathies to his family and friends.
And my prayers that his kind with his mettle can be replaced when so many who live in America hate America.

"To be kind to one's enemy is to be cruel to oneself!" (Oriental maxim)

Let us remember our fallen by destroying our enemies while they are awake or asleep!

I hope it is not your son, but tragically it is someone's son. It's a tragedy that we have to sacrtifice so many of our fine young people, but these terrorists must be stopped at all costs.

If it is your son, you have our sympathies, but also know that he died in service to hte safety adn freedom of all of us, and extremely noble cause.

God Bless you and your family. May our lord and Savior watch over your son and all sons and daughters as they protect us.

You and your family have my prayers. I pray that George Bush will win, so that our men and women, who have made the supreme sacrifice, will not have died in vain.

I have been doing volunteer work for the Bush campaign and Republican candidates. We will win.

American Ranger You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers!

Father God, fill this dear brother's heart with your peace, let him feel your strength, your love, your mercy and your comfort throughout this night and let him know that he is not alone that YOU are with him in a special way and that your body is praying with him.

If indeed it is his son that has fallen continue your comforting work in the hearts of this wonderful family, comfort his dear wife and his other son, touch their hearts with Your Mercy and Your Peace, filling them with your Holy Spirit.

Father, You know whose son died, if it's not our brother's, it's someone else's dear child. Lord we pray that you comfort them and fill them with Your Presence and let them know that they are not alone, that YOU are with them and our prayers are with them too.

Dear Lord, we thank you for each and every soldier, for each and every family member, we pray Lord that your provision for their every need be met, we are honored and priviledged to pray for them in Jesus Name, Amen!

I hope you get good news rather than the terrible news you are expecting. My wife and I were on pins and needles while my son romped over the deserts of Kuwait and Iraq from April 2003 to June 2003. My son returned home and still serves with the USMC reserves as a Lance Corporal. He's voting for Bush tomorrow. His mother and I are too. Prayers for both of you as you await the news.
