This is sad news and a great loss to Lorain as David was a good guy! I had seen him maybe in 2004 and we spoke for a great length. Always kind and caring! God bless his family. He will be missed!

So close to home... My Marine was spared by God's protection on Saturday in Iraq when his truck was hit with an IED - in a "secured" area.

Know that this hero's family will be in our prayers as He helps you through this tragedy.

God Bless America & All Those Who Protect Her.

My prayers are with the family. My son-in-law is in the military, and has served in Afghanistan, and I am thankful he is back safe and sound. We tend not to think so much about the people serving in other countries, until it hits close to home. Bless the military, and the civilians, trying to help others, as well as the families of these people. I hear that David made it a point to tell others to be thankful for, and realize how much freedom we have.
