Tim Russert Dies at Age 58

Tim Russert (May 7, 1950 – June 13, 2008).

This is how we can know, without the shadow of a doubt, why we need not fear death...

Psalm 16:10-11-

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Provided we know Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior.

Whether Tim Russert knew Jesus Christ as his peronal Lord and Savior is more than I can tell, that was solely between him and God.

Tim Russert died of massive cardiac arrest this morning...the same way the Grandad I was never fortunate enough to see, went as well. Tim was a good guy, I recall watching his show numerous times...an incredibly intelligent man, with a lot of political sway. Tim had good character, and it showed through all of the many fans he had around the country, and what he left behind will live on through them and his message. He'll be sadly missed by many, I'm sure. My heart goes out to all of his family, co-workers and friends, please do know that I am praying for you, and that the presence of God's angels of peace and comfort are with you.

God bless!

This Weeks Hero Was Suggested By Mary Ann

Spc. Jeffrey Jamaleldine Company C, 1st Battalion, 77th Armor
"How can I say to my sons, stand up for something, fight for what you think is right, if I don't do anything myself?" The Jeffrey Jamaleldine that you speak to today is a complete 180 from the Jeffrey Jamaleldine that you would have spoke to in the past.

In 1991, Jamaleldin was living in Germany when joined in anti-American protests on Berlin's Kurfürstendamm boulevard during Operation Desert Storm. "That was the way it was back then," he says. He was 15 and "America was simply the enemy." And today, Jeffery Jamaleldine is a wounded veteran of the U.S. Army. On June 6, 2005, after the terror bombing in Madrid, Spain, in the middle of the Iraq war, he showed up at the U.S. Army recruiting office in Little Rock, Arkansas, to enlist. His father, Bashir, told him at the time: "Son, this won't be a picnic." On June 30, Jamaleldine was on patrol in Ramadi, Iraq. The patrol ahead of him had been ambushed by at least 70 combatants and were now under fire.

During the fight, Spc. Jeffrey Jamaleldine was hit in the face by a bullet. In the end, the battle lasted into the next morning and the soldiers were able to stop the enemy from returning to Ramadi. The article on Spc. Jeffrey Jamaleldine is five pages long, and I simply can not condense it down to only a few paragraphs. You can read the entire story here.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero. We Should Not Only MOurn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived This post is part of the Wednesday Hero Blogroll.

Marty and Sue Horn

Born in Philadelphia,
Marty Horn spent 20 years in the Army as a Military Policeman, retiring in 1993 and going to work in Internet technologies. In 2003, his son Brian Horn deployed to Iraq. Trying to support their son’s unit, Marty and his wife Sue, who also served as in the Military Police, put together the concept of Any Soldier. In essence, Any Soldier is an effort to provide support and encouragement to those who are in harm’s way. Due to overwhelming requests for ready-made care packages on the AnySoldier.com site, Sue Horn started TreatAnySoldier.com. Using his background in Internet technologies, Marty built and maintains the web site. The Any Soldier program slowly expanded to include other Army units. In 2004, the program opened up to include all service branches.. In 2005, the websites for AnyMarine.com., AnySailor.com, AnyAirman.com, and AnyCoastguardsman.com were launched. In the words of the Any Soldier web site: "The success of Any Soldier has far exceeded expectations and continues to grow with the invaluable help and guidance of our supporters, board members and Support Team." In the words of Marty Horn: "It is the supporters who deserve the credit." Thanks to the efforts of Marty and Sue, their son Brian, and a dedicated staff, over 950,000 servicemen and women received support and encouragement they would never have been able to get through the Any Soldier program.

Sgt. Antwan L. Walker 22 years old from Tampa, Florida 2nd Forward Support Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division May 18, 2005 Sgt. Antwan Walker was excited about coming home from Iraq to celebrate his 23rd birthday with his family and friends. His mother, Andrea Pringle, was busy planning the party when an Army official unexpectedly came to her house. She said he told her Thursday that her son was killed the previous day by a bomb blast in Ramadi. The Department of Defense hasn't publicly confirmed his death. Sgt. Antwan Walker, known as Twan to his friends and family, joined the Army in 2000. Pringle said her son joined to earn money for college. "Twan had a lot of goals in life," She said. "He was very ambitious and very smart." Sgt. Walker had been in Iraq for about a year. He called his family often but didn't want to talk about war. Instead, he talked about starting a real estate career and his three children. "He was such a good dad," his mother said. "All he wanted to do was make a good life for his kids." In April 2005, Walker wanted to talk about the fighting. He told his mother five soldiers he was traveling with were killed. His phone calls became more frequent after that. Pringle said she had days when she couldn't eat or sleep because of her worries. But she never forgot to give her son her support. "I always told him I'm proud and be safe".
