John Thomas Wrobleski, Lieutenant U.S.M.C

His mother | 8 April 2004 | Joe Boucher

[Joe Boucher]

Last night due to severe wounds from battling in the Sunni Triangle on 6 Apr 2004 my nephew and personal hero John Thomas Wrobleski succumed to his injuries.

J.T. was a lieutenant in the U.S.M.C. He joined the marines 2 days after 9-11. He was born and lived in the north of New Jersey and joined after having many friends in the twin towers perish. 7 months ago he was married to a most wonderful girl who is now a widdow. He leaves 3 brothers a mom and dad and about 50 other family members and hundreds of friends. When he returns we as a family will come together to celebrate this American heros life. Thank you all for your many prayers and may GOD protect our brave American troops wherever they are.

I honor your nephew's sacrifice. There is none higher that an American can make.

[Robert DeLong]

My condolences, the nation has lost one its true heroes.

All humanity is of one Author, and is one volume; when one dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated; God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God’s hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another.

-- JOHN DONNE (1572–1631)

Breaks my heart to hear these reports coming in . .

Prayers going up - tears falling down for the bereaved.

God save our country.

IT'S THE SOLDIER

It's the soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the
PRESS.

It's the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of
SPEECH.

It's the soldier, not the campus
ORGANIZER,
Who has given us the freedom to
DEMONSTRATE

It's the soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a
FAIR TRIAL.
It's the soldier who salutes the flag,
Serves under the flag
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who gives the protester the right to burn the flag.

-Father D. E. O'Brien

Please accept our deepest condolences. May God bless and comfort John's wife and family and loved ones. Our nation will be eternally grateful for his service. May his soul rest in peace.

[Mr. Silverback]

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

Joe, your nephew was a hero proved in liberating strife, who loved his country more than himself, and mercy more than his life. He was beautiful, and we trust he is safely home.

Team Silverback sends Isaiah 61:3. Semper Fi, and God bless you and your family in your hour of trial.

Christ will...
comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion-
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.

My heartfelt condolences on your family's loss.

My sincere thanks to your nephew for his service to his country. It is people like him that make this country of ours great. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

[Shazolene]

JT will be in my prayer tonight.
And I pledge a donation in his name to AdoptAPlatoon.org, which appeared like a message at the bottom of the first page of this thread.
God bless his soul, and comfort his family.
And God be with his brothers who fight on to save our country.

[TMSuchman]

My family sends our deepest heart felt prayers for all.

In times like these I am reminded of the last line from a movie; The Bridges of Toko Ri; Where do we get men like these, where indeed do we get men like these. [or something like that]

To J.T. go with GOD and take your post SIR!

Joe,

I am so sorry for your nephew's death. It humbles me that he was fighting for me and my family and millions of Americans, as well as the Iraqi people.

I am and will pray for the comfort of you and your family.

God bless you all!

Sincerely,
homemom

[The Westerner]

Oh my God, Joe. I am so so sorry. Your loss is our loss. We are all fighting these barbarians. Your nephew was the brave, courageous American who made it possible for us to stay home and enjoy our lives. Please convey our condolences to his parents.
