RIP Major Pryor. You gave your life in service to your country and your fellow man.

You will be missed...by a mourning, loving family and a grateful nation.

God rest your soul, and God comfort, hold up, and speak peace and understanding to your family and loved ones. May all respect and revere your service and sacrifice.

As chief medical adviser to the Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Dr. Pryor conducted disaster-relief training for volunteers. In those lectures, he drew parallels between the injuries soldiers experience on the battlefield and the injuries to shooting victims brought to Philadelphia emergency rooms.

There is more irony in this statement. Philadelphia has more murders than combat deaths in Iraq for the last 6 months...

A man who could have avoided such harsh service, no doubt, but instead, gave all.

RIP, and may the Peace that surpasses all understanding envelop his family.

"I don't think about it every day, but I've had flashbacks," he said in 2002...strange - I had flashbacks reading the article - local Philly TV said one of the reasons he rushed to New York on 9/11 was that his father was an architect and engineer who helped build the Twin Towers - a terrible loss......

I have often suspected that the yearly body count in our cities are much greater than the lost lives of our brave men and women fightin the ar overseas.

May the angels of Paradise welcome you to your true home, Doctor, and may the Lord comfort your family and leave them with no bitterness but great pride in this man’s love of neighbor and the lives he has saved.

"Seek always to do some good, somewhere," it reads. "Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who need help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here, too."

What a special and selfless man Dr. Pryor was. What a tremendous loss...

Thank you Dr. Pryor for your service and your willingness to risk your life to take care of our injured military. Prayers for your family and friends.

May God bless and rest MAJ Pryor and give comfort and strength to his loved ones.

Dr. Pryor seems to have represented the absolute best about America. What a tragic loss.

May his family, friends and colleagues find comfort of the Lord in their loss.
