Subject: Prayer request for fallen warriorFolks, I am not a religious man, but I could use your help. One of my Marines died a few days ago. Out of respect for the family (though they already know, of course) I don't want to give out personal details. However, the young man's father asked that those of us still deployed over here take a moment at the time of his funeral service to offer a prayer for him. The funeral is at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on Saturday, 19 Saturday. That's 5:00 PM here in Iraq, so many of us will - operations permitting - take a moment to reflect on what this warrior meant to us. If you can, I ask that you join us. I know I haven't given you a name, but maybe you could address is to "Any Soldier/Sailor/Airman/Marine" and trust that it will get taken care of from there.  Thanks so much for your help. For those of you who have already PM'd/inspired me, I can't tell you how much your thoughts have meant to me. If you haven't figured out by now, I love my Marines a great deal and would do anything for them, so this loss has really affected me. |
