This very brave young man went to school with my oldest son--from elementary school thru High School. Nicolas was a great kid. He wrestled and was in the gifted program, and wanted, from a very early age, to go into the military. The attacks of 9/11 moved him profoundly---and that's why he enlisted after graduation. The teacher interviewed, Mr. Knipple, had him class that awful day in 2001, and as the news spread today, his former classmates remembered what they all said and felt.

Please remember his family in prayer, and I will update as I learn more.

Prayers up. God bless the SEALs.

Looks like ‘Gangham Style’ man ‘Psy’ got his way. 0bama shook his hand. Why do we rescue naive people who invite their own kidnapping?

Hi PAMom! What an honorable young man. He lived John 15:13: Greater love has no man than this-that a man lay down his life for his friends.

And obama adds another SEAL notch.
This one is awful close to home for me too.
Prayers for this SEAL and his family and friends.
And prayers for all of our troops who must operate under this treasonous and vindictive cic.

My deepest sympathies to his family, and to all who knew and loved Nick.

It always bothers me when I read of the death of one of our military.

I have noticed how often these elite troops turn out to have been elite men too.

Petty Officer 1st Class Nicolas D. Checque, may you RIP.

It is unfortunate that most American’s are not living a life worthy of this brave young man’s sacrifice.

This page updated daily shows the loss of great Americans.

Averages 3 a week or more.

Yet the same news the scalded Bush continues to ignore these losses under the anointed one.

[EternalVigilance]

Praying for his loved ones and his comrades in arms.
