Fallen Soldiers and Heroes

Staff Sergeant Hayden Gabriel Isaiah Thomas

United States Marine Corps

It was about 8 months ago that I met a young man by the name of Gabriel.  At first glance, I felt that he was a hurt individual that needed my help and guidance. As we began to talk, a powerful testimony took shape coming from his soul as he poured out his life to me. He told me that he was the last of ten brothers and sisters and that he had recently lost his mother. They were very close, she was his rock. Gabriel was living in Little Rock, Arkansas without a home and without a Savior. So, I did something out of character for me. I began to pray for someone outside of my "own little world". It was the beginning of a wonderful miracle in my life. When Unlocked came out, I bought it for him. Two days later, he was deployed to Iraq. He soon wrote me and told me how God used this book to bring him to the, foot of the cross. I want everyone to know that my angel, Gabriel, was taken back home to the Lord. Thanks to Karen's book though, God used Gabriel to help spread the "Word of God" to all whom would listen in his company. Knowing Gabriel, has changed my life. I thank God that I have another angel in heaven watching over me. God Bless all the men and women serving our country!  Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
