------------------------------------

Falwell, chancellor of the university in Lynchburg, Va., said as news of Jesse Strong's death in Iraq spread around the world, stories about his life always mentioned his faith in God.


"The fact is God raised him up to do big things in a short time," said Falwell, who flew to Vermont with a group of Liberty University officials to lead the funeral service. "It was appropriate for him to flame out so quickly."


Strong was one of four Marines killed Jan. 26 when their vehicle was attacked in Iraq's Anbar Province.

"He added to the wealth of America. He added to the character of America," Falwell said.


Strong grew up in the nearby town of Albany, where he was home-schooled. His father is a Methodist minister.

6. This isn't really relevant or anything, but could Falwell's head

possibly get any fatter? I've never seen a human being under 600lbs. who'd put on so much fat above the neck. He looks like one of those theme park mascots- it's ridiculous.
