In Others’ Word: Hero

Beth VogtQuotes, Reality 12 Comments

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life

to something bigger than oneself.”

~Joseph Campbell, American writer & lecturer

My friend’s son was killed in Afghanistan on October 22. As I write this, she is meeting the plane that brought his body back to the States.

Her son laid down his life for others for others. For his country.

Sometimes … there are no words.

  1. As a parent my heart is crushed to think of Scoti’s pain. May the Lord continue to uplift and hold her and her son’s young family… She is in our prayers.

  2. Last year my friend’s adult son was killed in a freak bike accident on October 22. I’ll remember both in prayer, knowing the pain of the year that lies before them.
