My cousin returned from reserve duty near Afghanistan and was disagnosed with pancreatic cancer within a year. He has also been in the reserves 20+ years.

A friend who had the same cancer with only weeks to live, but he had a liver transplant. Now 7 years later he is living a near normal life. I'm wondering if the cancer has spread beyond the liver in this gentleman.

Thank You For Serving
Col. Dirk Spanton

God is.....
With wings of steel and wielded sword,
the soldier asks blessings unto our Lord
to protect the innocence and freedom of
our Land, with no thought of self, reached
out his hand to those in need of his
protection, he guides himself in their
direction. He fears not the task ahead and
enters into without dread. Thus is his job,
he knows so well and fondly recalls the
one's that fell, yet he pushes to the end
'cause God is his guide, companion, and
closest Friend.

I agree with your prayer.

Life and death is in the hands of God alone.
