| Lord, please comfort and grant your peace that surpasses all human understanding to the family and friends of Sgt. Brian D. Ardron. Amen. This brave man answered the call of his country and his sacrifice will not be forgotten. Take heart in that there are many Americans, many who
have never met him, honoring Sgt. Ardron for his courage and his service to this nation. There are also many Americans, and again many who do not know Brian or your family, praying for you right now. Call upon the Lord and He will strengthen you during this time of great loss.
