The Resale Barn is flying our American flag at half-staff in honor of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.**
This past week, our country lost four courageous U.S. Army soldiers. Today, we pause to remember their names, honor their service, and lift up the families who now carry the unimaginable burden of their loss.
❤️ **Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19**
**Carrollton, Texas**
One of the youngest to serve, Pvt. Gonzales was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment in Germany. She gave her life defending fellow service members during an enemy missile and drone attack in Jordan.
❤️ **1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25**
**Ewa Beach, Hawaii**
A dedicated Army officer assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment. He was killed while defending Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan during the same attack.
❤️ **Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28**
**Ozone Park, New York**
Initially reported missing after the attack, Sgt. Rampersad was later confirmed to have been killed. She is remembered for her leadership, compassion, and unwavering dedication to her fellow soldiers.
❤️ **Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30**
**Fayetteville, North Carolina**
A devoted husband, father of two, and respected leader, Sgt. Swinton was killed in Iraq while conducting a controlled detonation of a downed enemy drone—protecting others until his final moments.
Let's remember these heroes and all who have given their lives in defense of our freedoms.
Please join us in praying for their families, friends, and fellow service members. Also, please lift up those who were injured, asking God to grant them healing, strength, and a full recovery. Pray for wisdom for our leaders and for a swift and peaceful end to this conflict, so that no more families must endure the heartbreak of losing a loved one to war.
🇺🇸 **"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." — John 15:13**
May God bless these fallen heroes, comfort those who mourn, heal those who have been injured, protect all who continue to serve, and bring peace where there is conflict.
