My wife's friend (who I served with) just wrote:
"One of Mike's friends from his company lost his life on Saturday fighting for our freedom :( Along with 4 others who got injured. He has an 18 month old daughter and wife he left behind. How sad."
Please pray for my friend Mike and his battles as well as all of the families involved.
Our best are dieing and they’re dieing for too many idiots that are educated in WHAT to think and not HOW to think ... and it breaks my heart. May God lift up that dear warrior’s family and surround them with His love and protection. I am forever indebted to those who gave their all.
Now all the election results are exciting, but this is far more important. Prayers and admiration for another American hero who has given his full measure for the defense of each of us!
Prayers up. And thank you for your service.
Heartfelt prayers sent to the Lord of glory, for the family and friends of our fallen Hero.

Godspeed to your friend, and prayers lifted for strength and comfort, to you and to his family.
We are in his debt.
May God bless.

Just want to clarify to all... I didn’t have the privilege of serving with Specialist Land. He was serving in a unit with a good friend of mine (who I did serve with). He is taking it really hard.
Nods. Thank you, and sorry for any added confusion from my end. Prayers for Mike as well, in these hard, hard times : /
May God bring him comfort and strength.
