A VIGIL FOR JEFFREY AKE
Jeffrey Ake, father of four, was kidnapped by terrorists in Iraq Monday and appeared on a video yesterday surrounded by masked gunmen.
Ake was abducted from a water treatment plant near Baghdad. He’s president of a company that bottles water and cooking oil. His hometown of LaPorte, Ind., is planning a Friday prayer vigil.
Meanwhile, four other contractors and five Iraqis were wounded in a car bombing in Baghdad.
According to friends and colleagues , Ake is an energetic entrepreneur who went to Iraq to help:
“He’s very enthusiastic and outgoing and proud of his job and his company. You see that glimmer in his eye when he is talking about it,” said Michael Seitz, president of the Greater LaPorte Chamber of Commerce. “When you get done with talking to him, you say, `What a neat company and what an entrepreneur.’”
I can only imagine what the unhinged Left thinks of this good man’s work. Keep him in your prayers.
