Titus my nephew is a hero

For those of you who may not have heard, my nephew Sgt. Titus Reynolds was killed on Thursday September 24, 2009 while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, in Afghanistan. I am so proud of him and his family for their willingness to pay the ultimate price to defend our freedoms. I am so sorry for the pain that his passing is causing his family and relatives.

My son Michael was in Washington DC this summer and met with several organizations that are serving in the Mideast and found out just how much our military is currently doing in both Afghanistan and Iraq. They are rebuilding these countries as well as bringing freedom from persecution to the Christians who lived in these countries. Our servicemen are truly making a difference. Women are no longer being oppressed and children who were being trained to be terrorist are now getting an education and being taught religious tolerance and democracy. I am proud of our country and all of our servicemen.

Titus’ body will be flown to Rickenbacker Air Force Base tomorrow, Saturday, October 3rd and brought to Cotner’s Funeral Home. For anyone who is interested, people will be gathering along Main Street starting at Cotner’s to honor him. Cotner’s will be providing flags to wave. If you would like to be a part of this, be there 3:30PM. There will be a viewing on Friday night, October 9, 2009 from 5 to 8PM and the funeral will be on Saturday October 10th at the Reynoldsburg Nazarene Church at 10:30AM.
