Praying for you Colonel and your daughter who probably is the one in the profile picture holding her dad’s picture. And all your family and the country you are from for which your fought.
Lord have mercy!
✝️
And may the saint with whom you share your baptismal name come to your comfort now that you are no longer with us.
 
Today’s plenary indulgence will be for you, Colonel, just in case you need it. If you’ve already made it to safety, God can assign it to another who served and is in need.

And to keep this from being too sad:

 
A little specificity by the OP would help… Regardless of who’s posting.
 
Come on, man, the first post in the thread is quoting the USCCB prayer for mourners (which is also an Episcopal prayer for mourners, as i think there’s a chance our Colonel might have been that).
Between that and the picture, I don’t think anyone needs to draw a diagram.

The colonel is an original. Nothing cookie cutter or robotic about him. And he doesnt take himself so seriously.
I’m sad to see him go actually.
 
There actually is a retired Marine colonel of similar age who died on June 23 who from his obituary sounds like an awesome and quite religious chap, so he can just get the prayers instead. I checked before I went and prayed just so I’d have a “backup”. The picture was not conclusive one way or the other.

That is indeed a compliment. Thanks. The Colonel is far bigger hearted than me. Even though I am pretty decent he is closer to the saintly end of the continuum.
 
I’m so confused, his last comment was a thank you it sounds like he’s okay. Maybe he’ll come back and see all of this, he probably has no idea we are so worried!
 
It’s very sad that we don’t have closure on this, seems all we can do is pray for his wellbeing. He is in the Lords good hands, wherever he is. I understand the confusion with the photo, I will pray for him and all of us before I go to sleep.
 
If he’s deceased I’m not sure someone should be utilizing his account. It appears deceptive.
