A former student of mine who is serving in a honor guard unit in D.C. was attacked by two men on Saturday and stabbed in the stomach. The aorta which passes through the stomach and a major vein was damaged. At one time he was not expected to live. He was given 11 units of blood to survive.
I talked with his mother today. He is recovering and will be moved to a private room from ICU. His mother said today they can feel the prayers of praying people.
More prayers for the whole family sent from my family.
Prayer bump.
My husband served in the Air Force Honor Guard in DC for 4 years.
Wow...how awful. Did this incident take place while he was on duty, in uniform?
Sending prayers for this young marine and his family.
Prayer ping.
Was he in uniform when it happened and has he been able to give any descriptions of his attackers?
...And for those who gave blood--11 pints.
May God heal his body and soul.
Prayers for the injured marine.
This brave soul and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I must be extra emotional today. Your post brought me to tears & I have prayed for him and his family.
We have him in our prayers tonight
Jesus, hold this young man and his family in your heart and in your hands and with Your Grace and love, bring them through this crisis. Amen.
I send my prayers!
He's in my prayers!

Ping lists please Ladies
Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Iesu, exaudi me.
Intra tua vulnera absconde me.
Ne permittas me separari a te.
Ab hoste maligno defende me.
In hora mortis meae voca me.
Et iube me venire ad te,
Ut cum Sanctis tuis laudem te
In saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Prayers for this young man and his family. Many curses for his cowardly attackers.
