Fallen Soldier
Feb. 10

A Kansas Soldier is laid to rest. Corporal Peter Wagler died in an explosion in the war in Iraq last month. While the memorial service goes on inside the church, hundreds line up outside in support of the family. Peter Wagler left a letter only to be opened in the event of his death. He was killed in Baghdad late last month. His dad prepares to read it inside the First Nazarene Church. Meanwhile, outside the support builds from hundreds wanting to show their support for a soldier who paid the ultimate sacrifice for his country. From the church, the procession will make its way to Patridge where Peter Wagler's body will be laid to rest.
