Army CPT Rob Yllescas
November 4th, 2008 . by CaryFirst things first – I certainly hope that you have, or are going to, exercise your RIGHT and your RESPONSIBILITY to VOTE. Too many have volunteered to allow your voice to be heard. Many who volunteered made the Supreme Sacrifice. Do Not Waste Their Lives.
On that subject: Army CPT Rob Yllescas’ family has taken the time and energy to publish a blog about their warrior. CPT Yllescas was wounded by an IED in Afghanistan. The long and short of it is he is now a double amputee and his family will be with him while he heals.
I am asking those of you who do so to pray for the family of this soldier. I know, there are soldiers every day who are wounded, and they all need prayer.
I pray for them everyday. However, it’s not too often you run across a blog about them, and when you know the recipient of the prayer by name, it becomes a more personal battle.
To the Yllescas family: Thank you for sharing the news.
To CPT Yllescas: Thank you for your service, sir.
Thank you for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, God bless you all, listen to The O Word on BlogTalkRadio, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!
Thanks for the heads up about CPT Yllescas. Hopefully, I can encourage Rob for what lies ahead.
All the best,

Scott – you are welcome for the heads-up. I am sure that Rob, and his family, will be needing all the encouragement they can get. As you know, they face a long and hard road.
Thanks for stopping by.
Don’t be dissuaded by the polls! Don’t listen to the prognostications! GET OUT AND VOTE! Vote for McCain/Palin!

The polls lie! DON’T LISTEN TO THE POLLS!
Thank you Cary.
Thank you too, warriors.
Don’t despair in this result.
It’s Phoenix time!
