I can't help but cry for these 44 fallen Philippine National Police officers who were in a hunt for Malaysian bomb-maker and Jemaah Islamiyah leader Marwan and Filipino bomb maker Abdul Basit Usman in Mamasapano town in Maguindanao, Philippines.
Today is national mourning day for these 44 fallen heroes. I would like to give my salute to all the 44 brave special action force police who bravely defended our country of the sake of peace. They were betrayed, they were brutally killed and worse, they were taken away from their family.
I pray that the families of these police officers will find peace and strength in God. In times like we cannot understand His plans, in times when we have a lot of questions and in times of great grief, all we have to do is kneel and let God handle all of these feelings.
Again, to the 44 fallen heroes, MY SALUTE!
