Earlier this past week you may have heard on Glenn Beck’s radio show Michelle Bachman recounted a story that last Sunday (April 22nd) she was in Afghanistan and stood over a young man who had just lost his left leg in an IED attack.

Let me tell you the rest of the story, that young man had to be PFC. Justin Lansford, (22 years old) whose vehicle was hit by a IED earlier that day. Justin is a close and personal friend of my family, having known him since he was about 14 years old.

He steady dated my daughter through High School and went to all the proms and dances with her. He was an accomplished High School athlete (football) for Brookwood High School here in Georgia. She was his sponsor at his Confirmation. We have been blessed to know him.

As writing this, Justin is fighting for his life at a hospital in Germany. He lost his left leg just above the knee, his spleen was removed, lacerated liver, multiple broken ribs, two fractured femurs, punctured lung and fractured spine. With all that, he still is a fighter and refuses to succumb.

This past Friday, he was to be transferred to Walter Reed but unfortunately has developed A.R.D.S and pneumonia. He remains in a medically induced coma in Germany where doctors now have requested his parents come. They are now there as of this past Saturday.

He is now in the hands of the doctors and God.

Let’s continue prayer, sauropod, for this and all wounded warriors.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I almost didn't read this because I thought, "Oh, dear God, this will be something too painful to bear."

And then I thought, "I have been pinged to this not just by a FReeper, but by the Holy Spirit. I have to read this."

So I read and pray. I do pray. May God fully restore this young man. I can only think, "What if it were my son?" He too is 22.

I emailed the SoldiersAngels coordinator at Landstuhl. I’m confident she’s already made contact with the family but just in case. . . . Prayers for Justin & his family.

His younger brother Chris set up this facebook site....He’s in Germany with his parents so updates are spotty right now....

[Jim Robinson]

Prayers out for Justin and his family. May his pain subside, his wounds heal and his family have the strength to help him through this.

Jeff, joining you and all the freepers, from here in Philadelphia. Your prayer for Justin is so beautiful I can only say Amen. I’ve alerted our church prayer chain to join the web of prayer from sea to sea for Justin to soften his landing in D.C. and to gently cover him and his family as he is taken to Walter Reed. May our Lord guide the hands and minds of all those who care for Justin as he fights for his life, and may He give peace and strength to his family and loved ones.

Any updates are good.

I play an online war game with a ton of vets and they are all praying hard.

[Jeff Head]

Amen to every word...we can set up that prayer chain from Sea to shining Sea.

Nevergore, please let him and the family know that is exactly what we are doing!

[WVNan]

Lord hear all our prayers. Strength for Justin and his family, and healing for Justin’s body, mind and soul. Thank you, Lord, for what you have done and what you will do. In Jesus’ name. Amen

[Vision]

I’m sorry but I’m traveling and don’t have my list.
