May God go with your son and his fellow soldiers as they search for those missing . May they find them soon..and return safely.
I am so grateful for their service to our country and to me.
I am grateful for their supportive loved ones,too.

May God comfort all who mourn.

GR, thanks for the ping.

SoldierDad, prayers for Robert. I'm thinking this is one of those times that two sets of footprints in the sand turn into one. God speed to Robert and brothers.

Please let us know when you hear of his safe return.

the little soldier boy was from Grants Pass Oregon and the the little Sweetheart was from Kearney just east of North Platte. They did indeed meet while the troop train was stopped in North Platte during 1944, and remained happily married for almost 60 years residing in Grants Pass.

That little bit information came to light one day while My girlfriend and I were watching rodeo on TV one day and I mentioned something about watching “Chuck Wagon Races” at Wild West Days in North Platte, and she told me the story of her mom and dad.... But my MOST favorite place there “OLE’s Big Game Lounge in Paxton. Adults would belly up to the bar for beer and Burgers and us kids would marvel at all the stuffed critters........ http://www.olesbiggame.com/

Oh Lord, please protect this fine father’s brave warrior son and his fellow soldiers. Please put a hedge of protection around them, shield them with Your might, comfort their worried families, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I pray right along with you, SD .. God be with you.

My thanks go out to you and all here on the Canteen who have given to me and my family the strength of your prayers. May God be with the soldiers of the 10th Mountain and give them comfort and strength as they search for their own.

Thank you Brad’s Gramma. I just now read your post. There has been so much going on here on FR that I’ve tried to keep up thanking everyone personally and I may wind up missing someone due to the volume of pings I’ve received.
