Staff Srgt. Jesse Jasper
by Justin Collins
On Sunday, September 13th, Raymond Jasper, the father of 26-year-old solider Jesse (deployed in Afghanistan on a one-year tour) received a call from a military liaison claiming that Jesse had been shot and killed in combat. A few hours later, Raymond and his wife Robin got another phone call they weren’t expecting. This time it was thier son’s girlfriend, who had just gotten off the phone with Jesse! He was alive! The mistake was made when his unit was attacked and another solider with similar features was fatally hit. The military pronounced both soliders dead when in actuality, Jesse survived and is now still serving his country. This is definitely a miracle for the Jasper family. As soliders continue to fight abroad please keep them in your prayers. God bless our troops!
