"Lord, thou art hard on Mothers. We suffer in their coming and their going". Pte. Rooney has joined an elite body of men, men who gave their lives to protect the lives of others. The sacrifice ensures the people of South Lebanon can continue their meagre lives in relative safety and peace. God Bless you Seán and all who serve under the blue flag.
