Lt. Col. Stefan Cook Has Passed Away (Freeper roaddog727)
The Post & Email ^ | Thursday, January 12, 2012 | Sharon Rondeau

The Post & Email has just learned that Lt. Col. Stefan Cook, about whose illness we reported yesterday, has passed away at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, FL at approximately 2:30 p.m. today of pancreatic cancer.

Cook, then a Major in the U.S. Army Reserves, had challenged Obama’s constitutional eligibility to serve as president in July 2009 through Atty. Orly Taitz. After Taitz filed the lawsuit in Georgia, Cook’s orders to deploy to Afghanistan were rescinded by the Army, a move which Taitz had hailed as a victory.

At the time the lawsuit was filed, Maj. Cook had expressed his concern that he might be carrying out illegal orders in the event that Obama was not constitutionally qualified to issue them. He had told WorldNetDaily, ”[Then] any order coming out of the presidency or his chain of command is illegal. Should I deploy, I would essentially be following an illegal [order]. If I happened to be captured by the enemy in a foreign land, I would not be privy to the Geneva Convention protections.”

How very sad. My prayers for this fine warrior of both foreign and domestic wars. And my heartfelt sympathies for his family. We’ve lost a really good man. Rest in peace, Sir.

Pancreatic cancer.
I didn’t know that.
I glanced through and just saw it a post or three up.

James and I are blessed to have known Stefan, a patriot and hero.

We are keeping his family in our prayers. May God’s grace bring them comfort during their sadness and loss.

Stefan was a great guy. He did some work for us and in the process helped raise about $120,000 for a children’s hospital. He also spent about 10 months in Guantonimo as DAC recently.

It was so strange. I was in Tampa today and drove past the VA hospital about 2:30. Planned to drop in to see family at about 6:00. Called, only to learn he was gone.

RIP, our FRiend.
