Prayers & Condolences For: Jared D. Stanker BY Anonymous on Feb 19, 2010
To one of the oldest, wisest and funniest 22 year olds I have ever known. You always had a heart of gold and knowledge beyond your years. You chose the mission you always wanted. You always said all people deserve the right to a decent life...I always asked if you were willing to give yours for people you don't even know and you did. It still seems impossible but I have to believe you are in a better place with your brothers planning the next mission. You are my hero, my soldier, my son and I'm proud of you....

Jared was destined to be a soldier from the time his was a young boy. He was a committed and focused soldier as well as a fun-loving and big-hearted person. He will be missed everyday by his family, friends and fellow soldiers. We know he is safe from harm with God now and watching over everyone he loved.

I read Jared's name today at the Universal Unitarian Church in Tallahassee, FL as a solider killed in battle. My deepest sympathy to Jared's family and friends.
