Lt. Clovis Ray Returns Home

A little while ago I posted the story of a 30-year-old man who gave up a successful career, left behind a wife and young son, and joined the Army to serve his country.

Two years after doing so, Lt. Clovis Ray was KIA in Afghanistan.

This weekend Lt. Ray's remains were returned home.

The local paper has a touching slide show of his final trip home (accompanying story here).

Please take a few moments to offer a prayer for Lt. Ray, his family and friends, and all our other service members.
