  1. May the Lord bless and comfort the families of these men who have passed while serving their Nation, strengthen them to the days ahead to do what needs be done, and let them know that absent from the body is present with the Lord, and if they turn to Him they can yet be reunited by and by.

    God bless them in their hour of need.

  2. …but there’s this…

    “However, they confirmed that there were no signs of foul play.”

    …guess we’re not counting forcing enlisted personnel to take a proven deadly shot for political reasons as “foul play”, because there’s also this…

    “In June, Army Sgt. Jaime Contreras also died suddenly during a training exercise at Fort Jackson.”

    …”Died Suddenly”.

    Pretty familiar phrase at this point.

    It isn’t enough that men need fight enemies from other lands.

    They have to accept poison from the enemies within as well, or resign from their calling and abandon their service to the foul fiends who have stolen this Nation, ceding a bulwark of freedom to them that it may be turned against us all.

    “Died Suddenly”.

    If this cause were put on every gravestone it applied to, it would make for monotonous reading for a future historian indeed.

    If any live to research it.

    “Died Suddenly”.

    What satan’s minions ultimately desire happen to us all, and that which they will strive to bring about by every means at their disposal.

    The deaths of these soldiers are only the beginning.
