The war goes on - please continue to pray for the troops

Sixteen-month-old Aubrey Melton reaches for her father, SSG Josh Melton, as she views his body with her mother Larissa before his funeral service on June 27, 2009 in Germantown, Illinois. SSG Melton, who was serving in Afghanistan with the Illinois National Guard, was killed in Kandahar during an IED attack on June 19.

    May God grant him eternal rest.
    It's so easy to forget the cost of war.

    Thank you for posting this. More people need to be reminded of the love that these soldiers have not only for their country but for their fellow man. SSG Melton was one of my soldiers.

    Bless, Father.

    For those who can, please send soldiers the Orthodox Military New Testament or point to the link below so they can be sent to them for free.
