Earlier this past week you may have heard on Glenn Beck’s radio show Michelle Bachman recounted a story that last Sunday (April 22nd) she was in Afghanistan and stood over a young man who had just lost his left leg in an IED attack.
Let me tell you the rest of the story, that young man had to be PFC. Justin Lansford, (22 years old) whose vehicle was hit by a IED earlier that day. Justin is a close and personal friend of my family, having known him since he was about 14 years old.
He steady dated my daughter through High School and went to all the proms and dances with her. He was an accomplished High School athlete (football) for Brookwood High School here in Georgia. She was his sponsor at his Confirmation. We have been blessed to know him.
As writing this, Justin is fighting for his life at a hospital in Germany. He lost his left leg just above the knee, his spleen was removed, lacerated liver, multiple broken ribs, two fractured femurs, punctured lung and fractured spine. With all that, he still is a fighter and refuses to succumb.
This past Friday, he was to be transferred to Walter Reed but unfortunately has developed A.R.D.S and pneumonia. He remains in a medically induced coma in Germany where doctors now have requested his parents come. They are now there as of this past Saturday.
He is now in the hands of the doctors and God.
Prayers up.

Please read information provided by nevergore about Justin at the top of this thread and in post #1. Here's an excerpt:
Update: Justin is fighting for his life at a hospital in Germany. He lost his left leg just above the knee, his spleen was removed, lacerated liver, multiple broken ribs, two fractured femurs, punctured lung and fractured spine. With all that, he still is a fighter and refuses to succumb. Thursday night, he died on the table but was resuscitated by the doctors for a second time.
On this past Friday, he was to be transferred to Walter Reed but unfortunately in addition to his wounds he has developed A.R.D.S and pneumonia. He remains in a medically induced coma in Germany where doctors now have requested his parents come. They are now there as of this past Saturday.
The brought him momentarily out of his medically induced “coma” and when he saw his Mom at his side, tears began to run down his cheek. His vitals started to jump erratically so the doctors immediately put him back under...
Prayers for Justin and those that love and care for him.
Our prayers are going out to Justin and his family. Thanks for the heads-up nevergore.
My prayers are with him.
A thousand prayers for this American hero and his family.
Prayers up for Justin Lasnford from here in Idaho.
Dear Father, may Your merciful Hand through the power and atonement of Jesus Christ heal Justin. May his fight for life and his survival be viewed and known here and abroad as a miracle from God...bestowed on a worthy young man who showed his love for country and his fellow man by serving his nation and he cause of liberty and going forth to fight evil.
May God’s Hand rest upon Him, may He comfort His loved ones...friends and relatives, letting them know all is in God’s Hand and will work for the good...that He knows and loves Justin and each of them, and even now is standing beside them, lifting them and supporting them.
May they wintess for Christ’s name and seek His healing...and may their prayers and ours be granted, if it by Thy will, oh Lord, in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, even Jesus Christ, Amen.
We will keep him in our prayers here, and his entire family and his friends. We will thank God in Heaven for perople like Justin. We will pass the word so that others join in prayer with us.
May we all unite our faith on Justin’s behalf.
and the healing touch of the Master be upon Justin..Prayers for all and sending healthy hugs to this family..

I second your prayer.
Prayers up!
Since “prayers up” is a little cold for a brother vet, though it is good for calling the friends who run lists, allow me to say my prayer.
Lord, I humbly request you look to your son Justin Lansford.
Badly hurt doing what is right, he still doesn’t give up.
Right now he is doing possibly the hardest task he has faced.
Keeping on breathing.
Bless and inspire his doctors and nurses.
Give him of your strength and will.
He is one who walked the shadows, so others can walk in the sun.
Bless him, keep him and hold him up with your strong arm.
For our brothers sake.
Amen.
