God, see the spirit of these four young men to your Kingdom and may their family, friends and loved ones bear their memories with a sense of purpose and pride in their sacrifice, while mourning their loss. Amen.
God Bless them All. Sgt. David J. Luff Jr., 29, of Hamilton, Ohio, this one is too close to home his parents went yesterday to go and get him and bring him home. I will be there when he gets here.

May God hold them all in the palm of His Hand.
May the Souls of the Faithfully departed
Through the Mercy of the Lord
Rest In Peace
Amen!

God Bless You and God Bless America,
