May God in His infinite mercy look over and bless Sgt. Nichols, who was faithfully serving his country. Dear Lord, restore Sgt. Nichols to his health and to his loving family and provide for each of his fallen comrades, a place in Your eternal Kingdom.
Thank you for doing a prayer that perfectly covers the situation. May God have mercy on us all. My son has a little while to go yet, over there, and I worry a little.
