To: Kathy in Alaska
Thanks very much, Kathy!

*HUGS*

And thanks very much for tonight's Remembering Our Troops thread!

Feeling somewhat better this evening.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I’m posting this again because I have learned that one of these young heroes was, in fact, in the Military. Jonathan Blunk was a Navy veteran who served several deployments on the USS Nimitz. He was apparently interested in re-enlisting in the Navy with hopes of becoming a Seal. Together with the two civilian heroes of this incident, he has earned our recognition, our respect, and our prayers.

Perceiving danger, these young men confronted it without hesitation, rather than seeking safety. In doing so, they saved the lives of three young women, paying the ultimate price.

May the Lord bless and keep them. May He cause His Countenance to shine upon them. May their valiant souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in Eternal Peace



PRAYERS GOING UP FOR JONATHAN BLUNK, MATT MCQUINN AND ALEX TEVES!

These three young men saved the lives of their girlfriends by shielding them from gunfire at the Aurora Massacre.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15; 13 – KJV)

God bless these gallant young men! May their heroic souls rest in eternal peace and may perpetual light shine upon them. Prayers of condolence for their families and friends may they find healing and consolation.




The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."

Psalm 23 -KJV
