Prayer for Ohio Soldier
I don't know about you, but I sometimes find the e-mails that ask you to not break a chain somewhat annoying. Sometimes they are very nice. However, I either don't have the time or a dozen people I want to send them to in order to get what is promised (good luck, a surprise, etc.).
The prayer below is an exception. My sister sent it to me from California. I remembered Matt from a previous story I did here in Washington DC. The prayer it ask for was the least I could do considering what this American son endured in giving his life for his country.
Feel free to join in and pass it on to others who might want to take the time.
OHIO SOLDIER
Subject: Please comply - Keep it going for MattDate: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 17:29:58 -0400
This one is for Private Matt Maupin, a local soldier captured 4 yrs ago and listed as missing in action. His remains were finally discovered this past weekend March 29-30, 2008). He would have been 24 this July.The insurgants put him on video after they captured him and televised it. Shortly thereafter another video was seen of a soldier as he was beheaded. But his family firmly believed it wasnt him. All we know is that his remains have been found, whether or not he was actually beheaded, we dont know (and they complain about how we treat our captives). But his family now has closure. President Bush called and offered his condolences. Matt's family has been to the White House several times at the request of the President. His family is not mad that he went and sacraficed his life. They are extremely proud of him.His family and many of their friends even marched in our local annual Baseball Opening Day Parade on Monday, proudly carrying Flags in honor of their son.I think President John F. Kennedy expressed it rather well when he said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.' God Bless Matt Maupin, and all of our soldiers, Veterans, past, present, future, living and deceased. Long Live Freedon.I'M not breaking this one.&nbs p; If I get it a 1000 times,I'll forward it a 1000 times!Let us pray...Prayer chain for our Military.... Don't break it! Please send this on after a short prayer. Prayer for our soldiers Don't break it!Prayer:'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.' Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world. There is nothing attached. Just send this to people in your address book. Do not let it stop with you. Of all the gifts you could give a Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, & others deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best one.GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!
