may they be comforted...

Word is that he was from Electra, Texas. If I know folks like those from Electra, they are comforted already knowing that he was doing an honorable and brave service to his country.

Real nice folks in Electra. I rode through there during this years "Hotter N Hell" Hundred.... they kept giving us fruit, water and pickles saying "I hope ya'll come back" and " thanks for stopping".... real nice Texas folk.

It's a shame, cause almost everybody knows everybody in towns like that.

God's speed and prayers for the family.

Thanks so much for posting this. May God be with Maj. Troy L. Gilbert.

This reminds me too much of the Scott Speicher case.

Stay strong, Gilbert family . . . . .

Guns and Prayers UP!

Hopefully he is still alive and they are just holding him for a swap or ransom. God Bless him and his family and may he be returned safely.
