Prayers are up. God bless this family and his loved ones, and all the ones who have fallen and their families and loved ones. What a magnificent military we do have. God bless each and every one of them and those who support and appreciate them.

My heart hurts for every single Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine that we lose in the never ending wars. My older son is a Marine reservist and is subject to call up at any time. He is also most likely moving toward an officer track and at least a hitch in the Fleet.

This makes me immensely proud.

Yet, as our country seems to now move from one war to another, unceasingly, I have to step back and ask the question, “Why?”

To an extent I could understand Iraq (where son was deployed) as correcting our previous error of supporting Sadaam. Afghanistan - I cannot understand. Why are we STILL flailing away in the “Graveyard of Empires?” What does “victory” look like?

This is not in any way to denigrate the service and sacrifice of PFC Rios-Ordonez. I’m just struggling with the worthiness of the call that he and so many others have answered.

Prayers up for PFC Gustavo Rios-Ordonez and family. Thank you sir.

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
