I have a friend who works at the IL Veterans Home in Quincy, IL and I asked him for prayer requests from the veterans' and staff from the home.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, Brother Ed.
I have a friend who works at the IL Veterans Home in Quincy, IL and I asked him for prayer requests from the veterans' and staff from the home.
General prayers for those veterans and spouses who live here as well as for those of us who serve them are always appreciated! We are the privilege of working here, I feel truly blessed and proud to say I work here.
I also request your prayers for our veterans nationwide in regards to the epidemic of suicide.
It is shocking and terrible that we are losing 22 VETERANS A DAY TO SUICIDE. Just Tuesday a 24 year-old veteran killed himself in the library at MN State University where my oldest, Karlee, is working on her master’s degree. Breaks my heart. I pray often that God open our eyes and hearts to how we can put an end to these tragic events.

Finally, I want you to know that I often pray for you and the work than you do in our community. I don’t post anything on social media but I see things and know how active you are. Thank you for all you do! Keep up the good work, brother!
Your friend,
Rick
