==============================
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 Sgt Bostic.
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. |

I will be at Sgt. Bostic's funeral and look forward to seeing the support once again. I was just at the recent funeral in Gardnerville and was quite impressed. Now, to see the support here on the website, I am overwhelmed.
Before I leave to go to Hawthorne, I will print off your messages and deliver them to the family, as Sgt. Bostic's mother is a friend and I know she will enjoy reading your kind and supportive words.
Thank you and God Bless
