A Sea Of Red

My wife just got word today that a really good friend of hesr that she grew close to shortly after I joined the military and was someone that helped her get use to the whole military life style. Anyways, she got word early this morning/late last night that her husband was killed in Afghanistan. Just pray for her and her daughter who is in college. I can't even imagine. It is something you try to prepare for by never get use to. Anyways, prayers would be appreciated.

Wow! The sacrifice they have made for all of us could never be repaid. Praying for that family in this devastating time of grieving.

They actually have 3 daughters, the other 2 are in high school. The info is now public and here is an article. I know the family appreciates the prayers. I did not know either one but when I left for 6 months almost 6 years ago his wife really helped my wife out a lot and it really meant a lot to me.

Anyways, here is that article:

Thanks for the prayers.

Was this in the same incident where the guy Mike from North Carolina was killed by a suicide bomber? A bunch of my LU friends are asking for prayer for that family as well.

There was a civilian contractor killed as well, but those were the only 2 killed in this particular attack. I don't think the two are related.

According to the comment section of the link Postman posted, the major worked with the ROTC unit at LU.

He did 4everfsu. He was a super nice guy. When he would come to my department we would shoot the breeze for a few minutes. What a tragic loss.

Yes, they lived in Lynchburg back when I first joined the Air Force. That is when my wife met his wife.
