They're still missing....


Three American soldiers are still missing in Iraq, feared kidnapped by insurgent terrorists. This is a time for America to pull together and hold these families close....

In the same attack four were killed including 21-year-old Pfc. Christopher E. Murphy of Lynchburg. He was part of Company D, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment which is part of the 10th Mountain Division from Fort Drum, NY.

A quiet young man, Chris was described as cheerful, someone who could make family and friends smile. High school teachers remember him as a hard worker, someone who followed an assignment to the "t." He played football and was part of William Campbell High School's 2002 championship team. Home on leave a few months ago, he was considering making the military a career. His family is setting up an educational scholarship in his name.

Chris and three others are gone ... the others are still missing. America bows her head in prayer for these soldiers and their families....
