may the martyrs receive you at your coming
and lead you to the holy city
of Jerusalem.
May a choir of angels receive you,
and with Lazarus,
who once was poor,
may you have eternal rest.

Prayer bump
He and his family are in my prayers. God bless them.
I don’t live there anymore but my daughter does. She said they lined the streets when they brought the body home as well as for the procession to the cemetery.
Old, young, all with flags. I did see some video and pictures from the Dayton television stations. It brought tears to my eyes. While I did not know this young man, I do remember his young wife and her family from years ago.
Such a sad thing for the two little girls.
God rest the soul of this hero, Private First Class Gustavo Rios-Ordonez, and prayers of strength and courage for his family as they must miss him so much.
God keep him and his family.
