Please remember men like Kevin Benderman in your prayers:

To a society, which on one hand, fails to see all life as precious, and on the other, fails to see the image of God in fellow human beings...this is a hard thing to comprehend. For the last year of my enlistment I was very worried that I would have to go through what this man is doing, but by God's grace I didn't have to. Keep guys like this in your prayers, and if you are able, help support organizations like the Orthodox Peace Fellowship and the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors that provide guidance and assistance for people struggling with this issue.
