==============================
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 |

To the family of Pfc. Franco. 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.

May Pfc. Franco now enjoy the rest and peace he so valiantly earned while here on earth.
To the family and friends: May your hearts and souls be at ease in the knowledge that Jason is now with the Lord. Too early in his life for us but perhaps God had a more pressing reason to call him home so soon.
Godspeed Pfc. Franco.
