Praying for Families of Marines Lost in Helicopter Crash

This is such sad news. A military helicopter carrying 7 special ops Marines based in North Carolina and four 4 National Guard soldiers from Louisiana crashed.

Tragically, all were killed.

These are the kind of risks that our service members face every day, whether they’re in combat or at home. It’s what they willingly signed up for. Our nation must respond with nothing but gratitude. My mom said it well on her Facebook page:

Our prayers are with the military families of our soldiers and Marines lost last night in a tragic training accident in Florida. Please pray for our veterans and active duty military, along with their families. The sacrifices they make so that we can be free are profound.

We can only imagine what the families of these men are going through right now. Let’s support them as much as we can with our prayers. Read more on the Patheos Faith and Family Channel, fan me on Facebook and follow this blog on Twitter!
