Continue To Pray for Our Military

Last Wednesday evening, as I delivered newspapers around the county, I listened to a prayer vigil on WDLM from all over the U.S.. Soldiers wives, a U.S. Muslim Christian, Billy Grahamıs son, a young boy, and many others all praying for our President and our military families. Within the week, a La Harpe couple had received the dreaded knock on their door from Marine comrades that their son was missing, and then found dead. He was a young 20 year old who was a ³freedom fighter² for those who have no freedom, and a defender of freedom for us who have taken it all for granted. God bless the family of Cpl. Evan James and those military families who are part of this war. We Americans ask much of you.... and we are grateful and humbled as we express our condolences. We can not give you much that will repay, but we can give you our support, and we can continue to pray for those involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom. God Bless you, and God Bless the USA!
