Jonathan Cote

The sad news of the discovery of Jonathan Cote’s body has just recently hit the airwaves…apart from the other contractors’ remains which were discovered before that.
Why was Jonathan not included in the others identified and why the delay? Cote’s finger was among the fingers sent to authorities before the bodies were found. Family members have no information about the circumstances surrounding his death at the hands of the terrorists, autopsy results will be coming back in about six weeks.
Cote had served four years in the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army. His military service included tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
He was serving as a contractor - a hired civilian - when he was taken hostage.
Other U.S. civilians taken hostage with Cote were Joshua Munns, John Young, Paul Reuben and an Austrian citizen and veteran, Bert Nussbaumer. Their bodies were identified earlier this year.
May God bless his family and friends and all those who loved him right now, as they go ahead with funeral arrangements and their grief in his untimely passing.
The brutal reality that the terrorists identify infidels as less-than-human is what we are facing when we read the details of murders like Cote’s and other contractors - even the ones who were burned in their car and whose charred remains were hung over the Euphrates while terrorist sympathizers in Fallujah jumped around in sickening frenzied glee.
It is difficult to imagine this hateful cruel mentality; we are facing modern day nazis with Islamic trappings.

Oh Cao, I have been so tied up with things around me, I didn’t know about this. It sickens me to the bone that the terrorists can do this so easily and that people can be joyful in the face of such murderous insanity. Some days I truly hold no hope for humanity. God Bless Jon’s family and loved ones and may God grant him eternal peace in his loving arms.

Even when we’re not tied up with things, these things are sometimes difficult to fathom.
God bless you, HAM.
