Valiant Soldier Killed In Marawi While His Wife Is Giving Birth, 3 Hours Later Their Baby Dies

The long list of soldiers giving their lives for the country in the ongoing war in Marawi is saddening. Just this weekend, Facebook Page Scout Ranger Books told us of the unfortunate death of the 44th soldier who died while in battle.

Corporal Jaime Invento is the latest to join the line. Like his fellow Scout Rangers, the late Coporal Invento is the silent type but is very dedicated to his job, and he was the type of person that you can entrust your life to.

Before their mission, he gave a pair of combat boots to his fellow soldier' birthday.

Scout Ranger Books told the story of how the valiant soldier lost his life. According to the page, it was during the assault when they were in the mission to take Marawi down. During the mission, the late Corporal Invento took two bullets in the neck and unfortunately, died on the spot.

Just when you think the story won't get any sadder. The wife of the late Corporal was pregnant, and when she heard the news, she wasn't able to handle the grief. She went to a forced labor where, after three hours, the baby also passed away.

Read the post below:

"Katulad ng typical Scout Ranger, si late Corporal Jaime Invento ay tahimik lang. Pero sa dedication niya sa trabaho, siya yung tipong ipapagkatiwala mo ang buhay mo sa kanya. Napakabait din na kaibigan dahil bago nila simulan ang mission na kunin ang ISIS stronghold na Bato Mosque kahapon, minabuti pa niyag regaluhan ng combat boots ang kanyang buddy na may birthday kahapon. Pero sa pag assault nila sa mosque, natamaan siya sa leeg ng dalawang bala at namatay on the spot. Sa kasamaang palad, di kinaya ng misis niya ang masamang balita at nag forced labor. Namatay ang kanilang bagong silang na anak tatlong oras lang pagkatapos mamatay ang kanyang Daddy Ranger. Si late Jaime Invento ang pang 45 na killed-in-action namin na Scout Ranger. Mag request po kami ng dasal para sa kanyang kaluluwa at para sa an9ak niya."

Pinoy Thinking is one with the nation in offering our sincerest prayers to the late Corporal Jaime Invento and his precious little angel who left too soon. May their souls rest in peace and may the wife be gifted with strength to go through this.
