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.

May His Head Rest Upon a Pillow Of Clouds and His Feet In God's Cool Brook. May His Shoulders Feel The Weight Of Only The Sunshine Forever Upon Them, May His Face Feel God's Spring Breeze Upon It and May He Rest On God's Shining Shores and Forever Be At Peace. Amen

I pray that God will comfort the family..

We are blessed as a nation to have brave warriors and equally brave families who support those warriors.

God Bless this dear man's family. Especially be with his children as they grow up without their father. Help them to always remember what a hero their father is.

May it be, Merciful Father, that You will take our tears and turn them into comfort for this grieving family ... that the ache in our hearts at the passing of this brave warrior will become liberty and freedom for others ... that our deepest sighs will become victory for his mission, that others might live. Amen ...
