Please forgive me for reposting this but I am trying to get a huge response. I want to get a copy of the responses and prayers to the family.

A co-worker of mine has lost an inlaw in Iraq. The exact relationship to him does not matter. I come to you and ask for your prayers for his family. What fallows is his name and info that is already in the media.

Cpl. Randal Kent Rosacker, 21, San Diego, Calif

You can go to the Seattle times or any site of your choice if you want information on other MIA's POW's or Casualties.

My purpose for the post is to ask for my fellow Freepers to pray for the Family. It is not known if he was married or not, as this is information from a co-worker and the young man is related to his wife. I do know that he comes from a long line of Marines dating back to WWII. If I learn more I will let you know. All this has been posted with the blessings from him and his wife.

INCLINE Thine ear, O Lord, unto our prayers, wherein we humbly pray Thee to show Thy mercy upon the soul of Thy servant Randal, whom Thou hast commanded to pass out of this world, that Thou wouldst place him in the region of peace and light, and bid him be a partaker with Thy Saints. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Gone but not forgotten. America owes them a debt of gratitude. I thank God everyday that we have these brave men protecting our freedoms.

Rest in peace our brothers.

[Terriergal]

God thank you for these men, for his willingness to show mercy, even though those to whom they would have shown mercy showed only hate in return.

Lord you say we are blessed when we are hated and persecuted for your sake. We take comfort in knowing these men are blessed for what they have done.

"It's the soldier, not the campus organiser, who has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate.

"It's the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the Freedom of the Press.

"It's the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the Freedom of Speech.

It is the soldier who serves under the flag, who defends the protester's right, to burn the flag.

Without the brave, there would be no Land of the Free."

For the Lamb
which is in the midst of the throne
shall feed them,
and shall lead them
unto living fountains of waters:
and God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 7:17

Father in Your hands we commend those who have given their lives for the betterment of the lives of others. Their lives were short but their example will remain among us forever. All the weight of humanity was placed on their shoulders and they moved forward with the challenge. Their sacrifice will change generations to come, more so those that now may have a chance of freedom and those of us who will keep the benefit of rights, thanks to their courage. We are in debt with them, a debt only You can fulfill for us, please bring consolation to their loved ones and healing in their loss. They were our best and we shall miss them all. Amen.
