A friend at AnySoldier.com posted a prayer request on the forums, for a Marine who is a friend of her family. I’ve copied and pasted her request below, since she asked that we pass it along to get as many people praying for this young man as possible.
A friend of the family, a young marine, 25, nearly drowned today during PT. He was in battle gear in a pool at Camp Pendleton. The family is not sure of what happened, but the doctors feel that he was underwater 5-10 minutes before he was pulled out of the pool. Mind you this is a battle hardened marine, not some wimpy guy. His wife is 7 months pregnant with their first child. He is improving, but is still on a vent. At this point, they can’t tell if there is brain damage. Please pray for a full recovery for him and ask everyone you know to pray for him.
I have posted the request on Facebook, so many of you will get the request again, sorry for the duplication.
Thank you.
Vicki
