Honor our fallen and pray for their familes


Usually on Fridays I try to share a picture that makes me smile or that I enjoy. Today is a bit different. I learned earlier today that one of my friends received devistating news yesterday. Her son, Brandon, was killed in action. He was serving in Afghanistan.

So today I ask that you honor the fallen soldiers who are fighting for our freedom and for the freedom of others. I ask that you remember their families because they are going through a tough time. I don't live in the same state as my friend, so I can't be there for her. I'm actually not sure what I can do although I want to do something. I ask that you just keep her and her family in your thoughts. For those of you who pray, I ask that you send a brief prayer for my friend and her family. Thank you.

Update - if anybody is interested - here's an article on my friend's son, click here.
