R.I.P. Michael Mansoor...Navy SEAL KIA 9/29/06

As Emperor Misha says, "Where do we find such men as these?" From Leatherneck M31 and Emperor Misha, and Yahoo! News respectively, we get the sad news of one of our heroic soldiers killed in action. This young man sacrificed his life for his country, his mission, and his friends in his unit...he gave his life so that others might live. He would have told you he was just doing his job, but even so, it takes a mighty special individual to make this kind of sacrifice.

The Bible says, "Greater love hath no man than he who lays down his life for his friends." Read the links to the stories...good luck soldier, and godspeed...rest now, and we will finish the job. There aren't words to express the gratitude due this young man for his service and sacrifice...please remember him and his family in your prayers, and may God comfort them.
