There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.

Army Spc. Matthew T. Bolar
Died May 3, 2007 Serving During Operation Iraqi Freedom

MY SON MATTHEW

I want him to be remembered as somebody who cared about other people.

Army Spc. Matthew Bolar was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq five years ago. He was 24 years old.

"He was a young man who knew what he wanted to do. And military service was the way that he chose to go," his father, Gordon Bolar, recently told his friend StoryCorps founder Dave Isay.

Matthew served with the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division based at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. His first tour of duty was in Mosul.

"I will not forget the day that he called me and he said, 'I had to bury my sergeant today. He was in his vehicle; he stuck his head out and then fell back. And we tried to revive him and we couldn't.' So he knew all about casualties in the field. He'd seen it right in his lap, and he chose to volunteer and go back for a second tour...LISTEN NOW

The eternal truth is that You alone are God and there is none else. May the righteous of all nations rejoice in Your love and exult in Your justice. Let
them beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into Pruning hooks. Let nation not lift up sword against nation nor learn war anymore. Solomon ben Isaac

John 15:13 No one has greater love nor stronger commitment than to lay down his own life for his countrymen.

A hero is someone who will make a sacrifice for the good of God, country, and fellow man. May you be blessed to give your all to cause for good.

CHRIS' DEMISE

Prayers for Chris as he's in need of a new job. He lost his job due to being on medical leave too long. He just lost his 37 year old step son too. Pray for this family. God bless you all.
