NEED YOUR PRAYERS FOR ICU PATIENT IN THE STATES

Readers ask for prayers. Request cut and pasted.

"Hafa adai todos!Hey, I just got back tonight from visiting Dean Tajalle at the Naval Medical Hospital Center in Bethesda with John Salas and John Espinal. If you hadn't heard about it, it was in the Guam PDN a while back. He got injured in Iraq, it's been 2 months today that he's been there. Why I haven't been up there to visit earlier is because I like most of you get so wrapped up in our own little worlds with our own little problems and lives to live.
It was pretty sad for me to see a Chamorro brother (son) hurt like that laying in a coma with a wife and 3 young children in the ICU waiting room, with all hope of him pulling through. His mom is there also with 2 sisters, mom comes up from Columbia, SC, the one sister is here visiting from Ft. Hood, Texas. His Mother-in-law flew in from American Samoa. Dean is fighting for his life, so please keep him in your prayers for a miracle. He seemed to be responding when we talked to him, but God only knows what is going on. Please keep his whole family in your prayers as well especially the young family he has, 3 kids, 11 yr old girl, 5 yr old boy, and 15 month old little girl. Dean's mother and family have been driving up from Columbia, SC, every week to be with him. Pele, his wife, a very beautiful young Samoan lady, is so optimistic that he will pull through. Let's pray that he does!!
If you have the time, make the time, go visit. Pele will take you in
to see him, it's Guam pasted all over his ICU room with flags, cards,
pictures. Please show your Chamorro spirit and go visit, if not, send a card. He's in the ICU unit at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center and can probably take a few visitors at a time only. I'm sure you can find the address on line, I'll try and paste it on here before I sign off. Let's show Dean and his family all the love that Chamorros have for each other!! Send a card, his wife Pele will read it to him.
Address: Mr. Dean Tajalle, ICU
National Naval Medical Center
8901 Wisconsin Avenue
Bethesda, Maryland 20889

Si Yu'os Maase!

Ms. Lourdes Q. Barrett "

I just wanted to comment on the shooting in April. There is so much questions and hardly any answers. But why focus so much on one side of the story, what about the other. Like, Why were those people in their property hiding in the boonies? Or, Why didn't they yell or say something when she was shooting at the dogs and pigs? And if what they say is true, why didn't they ask the owners of the property if they can tresspass? And why are they making this seem all like it was a racial thing?
I don't feel it was racist in any way. And now that the issue is coming about again, why is the family of the boy, changing their stories. If you follow up, their stories are not consistent they just keep adding and adding. It seems as if they have something to hide? I believe it when they say "God is not sleeping".
