This is a picture of Josh taken in early October. He looks pretty fierce, doesn't he? It is hard to look convincingly fierce if you really aren't. We would say Josh is dangerous to those who are his enemy. Of course, he doesn't do this by himself. He is part of a team. We are very proud of him. It isn't easy to face the dangers that he faces, or to train to meet the challenges that he faces.

We are grateful for the training he has received. We feel confident that as far as training will protect a soldier, and cause him to accomplish his mission, Josh has received the best that is offered in the world today. At the same time, we believe that he is in God's hands. It is in God that we ultimately trust for the outcome of everything.
