We lost another of our finest. Prayers for his family, his brothers-in-arms, and his friends. Also for those who May have been wounded with him. Rest in peace, Marine.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!
LCpl. Matthew R. Rodriguez, USMC 1st Combat Engineer Battalion 1st Marine Division KIA, Afghanistan 11 December 2013
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; For it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be." (1 Maccabees 3:5860)
"Eternal Father, Strong to Save" (Click)
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace! We who remain hold you in high honor. Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct; We who remain keep this place sacred. Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades; We who remain keep the watch. Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nations call; We who remain press the fight forward in your name. Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden; We who remain have taken up the torch. Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Prayers up for his family. That’s tough news to get just before Christmas.
May this brave young Marine rest in peace, and have a very high place in God’s Kingdom.

Its unfortunate these service members don't get the respect given to Mandela. They deserve the nation's flags lowered and politicians eulogizing them.

See. I HATE this. I have a terrible time getting through these announcements. Have lost so much. We should have been so long gone from there. G-d help me with the feelings of utter revulsion I feel towards this cic. And G-d bless our Troops.

I'm Sorry Mesta I didn't mean to upset you.
But our young men are suffering for this and our leaders don't even care.
But you Care
I care
That is what makes their fight worthwhile.

No need to apologize to me, KC. Some pain just never goes away. What upsets me is that it keeps happening and they keep letting it. It’s wrong and it’s evil to its core.

my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Lance Corporal Rodriquez . 19 years old ....probably first combat tour .
I have to say I am so relieved that the casualty count is way down these days . The last U.S. Marine to be KIA was back on Oct. 20th . There used to be a few a week and sometimes many at one time . I am thankful for this diminishing .
Here’s what I pray for any Marines and Soldiers still in combat deployment in Afghanistan : That their commanders realize what insanity it is to lock them down under such strict rules of engagement . Let them shoot first , give them air support , and don’t treat them like cops with internal affairs on their back for every discharge of their weapons . God bless the United States Marine Corps , they keep us strong and free . We need to back them up 100% and stop all the political BS that they have lately been burdened with . Their commanders should know better . They need to be led by warriors , not lawyers .
RIP Lance Corporal and thank you .

Tears and prayers for his family...So thankful for the service of this Marine. Semper Fi

Time to bring ‘em all home, they are too precious to be there under the current sacrificial Rules of Engagement imposed by the effin’ POS Mac Daddy in the White Hut.
Bless Lance Cpl. Matthew Rodriguez and his family, prayers up.

That entire shithole was never worth the first drop of American blood. Damn Bush and Obama to hell.
To: bramps
To die at that age in that hellhole for this president. To die at that age in that hellhole for any president is a tragedy.
To: LeoWindhorse
I think you are wrong about the last Marine being killed on October 20th. My grandson is a Marine and I follow the news closely.
