May God bless the family and friends of this fine soldier. My wife and I have a nephew that has been to Iraq twice, and is now in Afghanistan. It kind of gets under my skin that we as a nation are losing our sons, daughters, and other family members there. But, our nephew assured me that he feels we are there for the right reasons. So, I have to have faith in what he said. We should all make a big effort to think of them and pray for them every chance we get. It only takes a minute to ask God to protect them. We can't understand why bad things like this happen to great people, but I believe that God will let us understand in the end.
