| I just got devestating news. My cousin Justin was killed in Iraq yesterday. He was shot by mortar fire. His parents are here in TN so since we haven't left yet we are going to go spend some time with my Aunt. My cousins and my brothers and I were raised up together and this feels like having lost a brother. This is also our first family member we have lost to this war. I have always felt bad for those who have lost loved ones and felt blessed that my family had been spared. Out of 35 grandkids, my cousin Justin is the first one we have lost. He was stationed with my brother until my brother was sent to Germany and if my brother's orders hadn't been changed he could have easily been with my cousin yesterday. My brother is taking it hard and is hoping he will get to come home from Germany on leave for the services. So unfortunately it looks like we will be in TN again but for a much sadder reason. Please pray for my Aunt Hazel and Uncle Stephen and their remaining 3 sons. My cousin Justin leaves behind 2 young daughters.
