Our Church on TV!! A soldier's homegoing!
 
As I told you last week, a boy from our church lost his life in Iraq last week. Here's a news clip of what transpired today.

He was a great young kid! what a loss.

close to 1,000 people came out today to honor him. what a homegoing it was! our choir truely left a lasting impact too.

One of our local TV stations did coverage on our service today!

I'm still shaken up over this event

To watch a good kid grow up in the church and then die in the war is just... I don't know how to put... depressing. I sat and thought about where we are as a nation today, what is becoming of us, where are we going, etc. and now that the adrendain rush of the excitment of the service is over, I feel the impact all the more.

Heartbreaking stuff. I can't even fathom losing a son.

Wow you even had the major there. Kind of sad(actually very sad), but you all did such a great job with the choir.

The church rallied and went beyond the call today.


People really do when there is a cause don't they?


It's something how hard times brings the better side out of us humans

The choir was great Mark, and Sgt. Gasper was a hero.

There is just something about a person dying that puts everything into perspective.

This story, like so many others, was just gut-wrenching to watch. The sacrifices this young man made for our country with doing four tours in just six years in Iraq must have been difficult for him and his family.

That was a lot of time to be away from such a young wife.
