I have a friend who is retired from a career with the CIA. He is very close friends with Former Secretary of State Eagleberger. He had been keeping me informed on the Secretary's poor health. I asked him if he wanted me to put in a prayer request in Free Republic. He replied:
Larry is in terrible health. Would he mind your posting something on Free Republic? Probably. But pls do so anyway ... he can use prayers. And thanx.
I pray on behalf of Lawrence Eagleburger. He served our nation for most of his life and now he is in very ill health. I ask You to watch over him and ease his pain and suffering. Your guidance has always lead the way to greater understanding, so I pray You do so for Secretary Eagleberger.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Prayers up- Ping
Direct from my mouth to God's ears............Please help Mr. Eagleburger in his hour of need.........Amen
I always enjoy Secretary Eagleburger's appearances and insights, and am very sorry to hear of his health problems. I will gladly keep him in my prayers.
This is bad news indeed. He was always one of my favorites for his tough stand against terrorism years ago.
I will pray for him. He is a great man.
Thanks you, Red Badger
I see a lot of him in John Bolton. We could use more like Sec. Eagleburger, and I hope he gets well.

The Secretary always stood tall for America and against all her enemies.
You prayer is appreciated
Re: He's always a refreshing, no-bull voice when he gets on the air for an interview. Even if I disagreed with some of his positions I always thought he was saying what he believed was right and true. He was also transparent, in that everytime someone like Alan Colmes asked a silly question, he got this look on his face like "Oh boy, one of these..."
