My heart cries for her....
Capt. Paul Peña, 27, of San Marcos, Texas ..
He was a member of the Junior ROTC at the San Marcos Baptist Academy where he was named "best all around student" by his school's National Honor Society chapter, and was voted most likely to succeed by his classmates. He created a disc golf course at the school for his Eagle Scout project. Peña graduated from the San Marcos Baptist Academy in 2000 and entered the U.S. Military Academy as a member of the class of 2004.

Thank you so much for posting this. May G_d bless him and keep him forever near His side...our nation's loss is Heaven's gain.
Prayers of strength go out to the family of this brave soldier.
Thanks for the posting. My best to the family of Capt Pena. Its going to be a hard, hard time in Afghanistan. And the factories turning out these improved IED must be destroyed where every they are--even in Iran or Pakistan regardless of collerateral damage or hurt feeling. This cannot be allowed to happen again as in Iraq!
May he rest in peace and may God grant his mom some peace too.
AM-HA-RR-MK- according to the post--his Mom was his only surviving direct relative....indeed- may she find some peace....
It is always sad to be reminded that the cost of freedom is our dearest blood. I have friends and family in Afghanistan and the Middle East fighting and every time that I hear that one of our best has fallen, I feel the apprehension that it could have been one of them instead. I fear that no amount of human consolation will moderate the grief of the Captain’s family, so I shall simply pray that God shelters them and gives them comfort during this time of mourning.
WS-thank your friends and family for me--for putting their 'toe to the line'...and for your heartfelt thoughts to the Capt. Mother....
