==============================
When a mans heart is full of deceit it burns up, dies and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse, a wrong that must be righted. We look to the skies for a vindicator, someone to strike fear into the black hearts of the same men who created him. The battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes the Dark Warrior, the purveyor of good, with a voice of silence and a mission of justice. - Steve "Sting" Borden |

From one Bailey family to another...
What words could possibly help during a time like this..
When we know not what we should pray for as we ought, the Spirit maketh intercessions for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26
So let not your heart be troubled, for your loved one has gone to the place which Jesus has prepared.
Stand down soldier, your mission here is complete. |

Once there was a young man with dreams a young man dreams. He could have been anything he chose and he chose to serve his country. With this service he gave forth the ultimate sacrifice and now dwells in the presence of heroes. We can only guess at the sorrow that is felt by Private Bailey’s family, but we can honor this young man’s life and send our prayers to his family. |
