Prayers to:

Every time I log onto my Facebook it seems like a friend posts one of these, I decided to start sharing them mostly because it's not all homecomings and phone calls and any prayers people can send this family's way would most be appreciated. 

"Dear God, sound the trumpets and welcome this hero home... Staff Sgt. Leon H. Lucas Jr., 32, of Wilson, N.C., died Aug. 1 while conducting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan. He was assigned to 3rd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, Twentynine Palms, Calif."
