    Wow, three from our area. Nearly all of these guys family men and so many with pregnant wives. Navy Army and Air Force represented among the dead.

    May they see and abide with God forever. May God bless their wives, children, and, parents and may God bless the United States.

    One of the Navy Seals killed, Chief Petty Officer Matt Mills, 36, was from nearby Bastrop, Texas

    My condolences to his family and friends.
