Luis Draco formerly KBR IT and currently ITT recently died at the hands of cowardly terrorists. Cowards who lob mortars and rockets (aka Indirect Fire-IDF) into camps congested with unarmed civilians. I lost a friend this way in the Green Zone. I can’t think of anything else so cowardly! C3 Warhorse is located approximately 35-45 miles northeast of Baghdad on Baquba Airfield.
The above was information from a friend of Luis', Darick Knight. When Luis was killed his daughter, Nev, became an orphan. Nev's mother, Hope, passed away in 2003. Hope was my niece and Nev is my great-niece (grandniece). It is now up to the courts to determine where this little 12 year old girl will live.
It reminds us that the tragedies of grown-up wars too often end up being devastation for the innocent children who have no idea what's going on. It's also a reminder that each of us is only a phone call away from finding out someone we know is a victim.
We don't know where Nev will end up. We must trust in the wisdom of God to help those decision makers make the choice that is best for this little girl.
When you go to bed tonight, say a little prayer for Nev.
Next time you pick up the paper and see that someone has been killed in a war or accident, or that someone has died from a disease or sudden illness or for any reason for that matter, remember that somewhere someone is hurting because they have lost a loved one. Too often they are the tears of innocent children.
