"I'll See You Soon"


His final words from Afghanistan to his family were, "I'll see you soon".

Twenty-One year old Marine Lance Cpl. John F. Farias was killed Tuesday, June 28th. He was weeks away from celebrating his 22nd birthday. Farias was an Eagle Scout and then enlisted with the Marines in 2009. He deployed in April.

You can hear this young hero's voice and see his face HERE.

May Almighty God bless this Brave Marine.
May Almighty God comfort those who love him so.

bridge...you and I will have to make a point of going to BWI for an Operation Welcome Home event. There are so many heartbreaking stories...and then there is welcoming the ones who come home, it's an amazing feeling!
