Untold Grief

Thirty American military were killed when their Chinook helicopter was shot down in Afganistan by Taliban insurgents.  Twenty-two of the dead were Seals from the recently celebrated Seal Team Six.  Seven Afgan commandos were also killed.

And hearts at home are broken over the loss of beloved sons.   Roosevelt said, "War is Hell!"  He was right.  Whatever the cause we're supporting in Afganistan, the price just went up significantly! 

God bless the grieving parents, siblings, family and friends who lost the ones they dearly loved.  May they know His comfort. 

God bless the Chaplains who minister in these situations and give them the right words and the grace to speak those words!

God bless the troops who have lost best friends and comrads.  May you comfort them and also strengthen them in their resolve.

And God bless the United States.  May our causes always be just and our motives righteous.
