Usually, the major birthday this time of year is that of Jesus Christ. However, we'll get a head-start on that and celebrate the 26th birthday of an American soldier. Why is this utterly significant? The man has, through the grace of God and modern medicine, managed to survive against that bestial disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob, which goes after the brain like the Red Army after helpless civilians. His death was essentially predicted to be some time before Christmas 2003, but he has held on, thanks in part (perhaps) to a new drug therapy.

Jen Martinez is covering the story of Staff Sergeant James Alford, United States Army. Keep him and his family in your prayers, people. Nobody deserves to die this kind of death.
