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.

Doesn't matter who's son he is. They are all precious to me. I'm sorry to read this. Thank you for your son's service and voting for Bush.

I plead the blood of Jesus over your son, and in His name may he be alive, and well. Lord, keep your guardian and warring angels round about our troops, wherever they are stationed, protecting them. Give them an added sense of discernment to sense ahead of time any situation that may be causing danger, to be able to prevent or avoid it, in the name of Jesus. May Your name be glorified. Lord, I lift up the families that are left waiting at home. Keep them in your ever loving arms, giving them peace, strength and courage. In Jesus name I pray this, Amen.

Dear American Ranger,
My heart goes out to you and your family. I pray your son is safe and that none of ours were killed. I pray also that you will return and let us know what you know. Please do. God bless you and keep you.

The brave soldier was from Iowa.
DoD Identifies Army Casualty

The Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.

Spc. James C. Kearney, III, 22, of Emerson, Iowa, died Nov. 1 in Salerno, Afghanistan, from injuries sustained in Sharan, Afghanistan, when his convoy was attacked by enemy forces using rocket propelled grenades. Kearney was assigned to the Army National Guard's 1st Battalion, 168th Infantry, Glenwood, Iowa.

God bless his soul and his family.

American Ranger:

Thank you for updating us on this. I had been checking the threads for an update on your son. From what you posted, I take it this was not your son. If so, I am thankful your prayers, as well as others of us on Free Republic, were answered.

May God Bless you, your family, your son, all of those serving our country in harms way, and their families as well. american_ranger

As far as I have been able to see, American Ranger has not updated us. Another FReeper did as I did and checked the DoD news releases.

Amen to that. I have a couple of friends in the group who left from here to go to Fallujah and am keeping all of them close in my prayers. ar, your son in Afghanistan is included as well. I hope all is well with him.

We're OK! It's really weird right now, though. Thanks for being there for me. :-)

Nick's next month!
