OT - Asking for prayers

My 21-year old nephew (and godson) is in the Marine Reserves and has been in Iraq since February. We learned yesterday that he was injured during a rocket-propelled grenade attack while they were searching an Iraqi school. Fortunately his physcial injuries are not serious, but the other 3 Marines on patrol with him were not so fortunate. One was killed instantly and the other two have serious injuries. Please say a prayer or positive thoughts, depending upon your beliefs, to protect him during the remainder of his deployment and to help him deal with the horrible things he must be witnessing. His name is Ryan Matthew Harris. Thanks so much.....I appreciate your support! Mary Ellen

Hi Mary Ellen, Matthew is in my prayers. Take care, Syndi

Thanks so much Syndi! Mary Ellen

I will add him and all those that love him in my prayers today.

Thank you Peggy....I appreciate your support! Mary Ellen

May God bless and keep your nephew while giving your family peace of mind and the trust that He will carry us when we haven't the strength to walk alone. Best to you an yours, Carolyn

What a lovely prayer....thanks Carolyn! Mary Ellen

I pray daily on behalf of all our troops for the very things that you have requested - physical/emotional protection, moral purity, and the ability to cope with the things they may witness. I'll add Ryan to the list of folks that I pray for by name. Cindy (-86) 274/188/140

Cindy, It's great that you think of our troops daily. I'm amazed at how many folks go about their lives everyday and not once give any thought to the men & women who are over there. Mary Ellen

Got him wrapped up in my prayers. They all are.
