Justin Whitmire’s family is doing as well as can be expected after learning he was killed while serving his country, said Terry Rogers, pastor of Faith Renewed Outreach Center, the family’s church in Mauldin, S.C.
Whitmire, 20, an Army medic from Simpsonville, S.C., was killed Dec. 27 while serving in Afghanistan.
Whitmire had been in Afghanistan for about 19 days and in the military for a little over a year, Rogers said. The vehicle he was in hit an improvised explosive device, killing him and two other soldiers, Rogers said.
The weather started off beautiful today, allowing hundreds of bikers to show up for Pfc Whitmires funeral. The weather held through the funeral service but as the horse drawn caisson arrived at the grave site the clouds began to move in. Then the rain started. As I rode home the weather cleared some and as I looked in my mirrors there was a beautiful rainbow filling the sky behind me.
Believe what you like, but I don't believe any of it was a coincidence.
Below are some pictures, and a prayer he had posted, that I retrieved from Pfc Whitmires Facebook page. By all accounts he was a wonderful young man. He had earned a scholarship to a prestigious university, but he wanted to serve his country first.
