Remembering SSG Chad Caldwell
Filed Under Iraq War | Comments Off
It’s easy to forget that our troops are still overseas in Iraq. We get caught up in daily trivia and routine problems. The high cost of gas or job stress can keep us from remembering the greater world. We should always take time to say a prayer for our troops overseas, as well as one for our political leaders as well as our enemies, as Jesus would want us to do.
A video by photojournalists who were embedded with Staff Sgt. Chad Caldwell’s unit shows them recalling their time with him in Mosul, Iraq. Other included videos show segments featuring SSG Caldwell serving his nation along with others in his unit.
SSG Chad Caldwell was killed April 30 in Mosul, Iraq — just a few weeks before he was scheduled to come home.
My prayers are with his family.
