A Marine Mom's Request

Peggy Getty received this note from a Marine Mom she knows and is sharing it with her permission in order to spread this request far and wide.

All:

Jerry, Brenda and I went back again to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio yesterday.(we have been going there once a month since December) to visit our severley injured military (these are the severely burned and amputees.) There is a new arrival (arrived March 13) named Sgt. John Phillips. John is from South Carolina. He was burned over 77% of his body and will probably lose his feet because the tendons are dead. He is in ICU so we, of course, were not allowed in his room. We did however meet his parents, Allen and Cookie Phillips. When we gave Allen and Cookie the cards, posters, goodies, etc. from church groups, school children, us, and others, the Mom started crying and just kept saying "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" When I asked Cookie if there was absolutely anything else that we could do for John, she said, "Yes, just please please ask everyone to pray for John, and cards, letters, posters, etc. like these you brought today do wonders for boosting John's spirits!"

So, I am asking each of you to please pray for John and put him in any prayer chains you know of anywhere! Also, if you would like to send a card, letter, etc. to him, here is his address:

Sgt. John Phillips
