Title: Prayers and Help for a fallen Marine - killed in Afganistan
Post by: elkshooter on August 18, 2009, 05:44:00 PM
Hey all Tradgangers,

Last week I received word that a high school friend was killed in Afganistan fighting the Taliban.

His name is Sgt Bill Cahir.  He enlisted in the Marines at 34 years old after 9/11 to help make the world a better place and he's paid the ultimate price following his calling.

The worst part is that he left behind a wife and unborn twins who will never know their father.  Truly tragic.

His bravery and patriotism have been featured on Hardball with Chris Matthews.  Here's the link:   Hardball (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036697/#32453196)

I knew him since Junior High and he is a great guy.

Please send your prayers to his family and if you have a few extra bucks, there is a fund to help his family financially with his loss.

Not exactly bowhunting related, but everyone should know what a great man Bill was and what a sacrifice he made so we can all live without the fear of another attack on US soil.

While we all get ready to head into the woods this year, take a moment to think about and thank all the service-men and women who keep us free.
