Pleitez was a Squared away soldier, he brought light to any room, he always wore a charming smile that will forever be engraved in my heart. Training beside him was an honor an a privilege. He always turned the mood around an made it fun when training seemed like an eternity, Ben you will always be with us Rolling thunder brother! You will never be forgotten...

THE BIBLE TECHES: God foretells a time when he will establish peace earth wide. Under his Kingdom, a heavenly government, people will not "learn war anymore." Instead, they will "beat their swords into plowshares." (Isaiah 2:4)God will bring an end to all injustice and suffering. The Bible promises: "[God wipe every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things [including today's injustices and suffering] have passed away." Revelation 21:3,4. That gives us a wonderful hope for the future. If you would like to know more about this, you can speak with one of Jehovah's Witnesses, whenever they are in your neighborhood. They would be happy to talk with you. Tue, 31 Jul 2012 10:55:18 -0700
