Prayer request for deceased soldier's family
Posted on 07/06/2006 5:47:39 AM PDT by rj45mis
For you freepers who would be moved to do so, I ask for your prayers for my niece and her 2 children. The husband/father was killed in a firefight Tuesday night near the Pakistan border. He was a National Guardsman in his mid forties and had 2 months left in country. He had served a short tour in Bosnia 2 years ago as well. He was training Afghani troops and had just been moved to the border region. Besides my niece he leaves behind a 9-year old son and a 4-year old daughter. Everyone is in shock at the suddenness of it all. This man was a patriot and a hero who died for the country he loved.

Prayers sent for a fallen hero!
http://www.thielman.com/freedom/somegaveall.htm
I knew a man, called him Sandy Cane.
Few folks even knew his name.
But a hero, yes was he.
Left a boy, came back a man.
Still many just don't understand
about the reasons we are free.
I can't forget the look in his eyes
or the tears he cried,
as he said these words to me.
All gave some and some gave all.
Some stood through for the red, white and blue,
and some had to fall.
And if you ever think of me,
think of all your liberties, and recall,
some gave all.
Now, Sandy Cane is no longer here.
But his words are oh so clear
as they echo throughout our land.
and all his friends who gave us all,
who stood the ground and took the fall
to help their fellow man.
Love your country and live with pride
and don't forget those who died.
America, can't you see
All gave some and some gave all.
Some stood through for the red, white and blue,
and some had to fall.
And if you ever think of me,
think of all your liberties, and recall,
some gave all.
And if you ever think of me
think of all your liberties,
and recall, yes recall
Some gave all.
Some gave all.

I pray for our troops on a regular basis. Both those still serving and those who have fallen.
I will put a special prayer in today for your niece, her family, and her husband.

The Mansions of the Lord
To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
To the Mansions of the Lord.
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
Through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord.

Psalm 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His names sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
Forever.
