Slain Officer's Husband Tells Story of Returning from War, Finding Christ

Benjamin Sebena told the story of his ordeal as a Marine in Iraq and subsequent growth in his faith in God.

Benjamin Sebena, husband of slain Wauwatosa police officer Jennifer Sebena, is an Iraq war veteran who suffered serious shrapnel injuries in an incident there. He tells his story in a YouTube video that also discusses his courtship of Jennifer and growth in his faith.

The video was posted by No Regrets Conference. The YouTube home page says it is "committed to equipping local church leaders to disciple men who disciple men," in part. The video is from 2010.

Sebena was being held Wednesday at the West Allis Police Department following the death, according to a police report, though the report did not indicate he had been arrested.

No way possible. I was in charge of this young man in Iraq. I refuse to believe he has anything to do with it.

Stop salivating! It is pathetic how some people enjoy the suffering of others. Lynch mob comes to mind! Freedom of expression comes with responsibility.

Dj Hixson Abram December 27, 2012 at 03:33 pm
You are a pathetic little man, Holden
Shane Eckberg December 27, 2012 at 03:47 pm
Holden you are a POS I served with Sebena and he is a stand up man who was there when his country needed him not like you some coward behind his keyboard. You don't know who we are or what we have done, so shut your fing mouth and go about your day before I become interested in you

Holden, you're a moron. Being fidgety doesn't mean he's guilty, read a book sometime, jackass.

Please be peaceful and kind to each other. The amount of aggression in this blog is scary! A violent act was committed. We do not know why, not will we ever comprehend it. Use your energy to help victims of violence and their families. There are plenty of them.

WWII vets recieiving or requesting PTSD benefits- nearly Zero
Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan vets- maybe 50 percent? Wonder why our country is broke?

Get active, help vets and their families , call your representative and members of Congress. This is how it works in a democracy. Exercise compassion!

Walker celebrates after defeating the liberal unionista blue fisters

I dislike so much sarcasm in one post. Why not just come out and say something directly?

Steve, I have friends and co-workers whose political leanings vary from far right to far left andRead More everything in between. I certainly wouldn't make decisions "on their future" simply based on whether or not they signed a petition. I value the input I receive from my exposure to their varying viewpoints. It seems awfully petty and shortsighted to base so many decisions on one factor. When I hire an employee, political opinions are not important to me - credentials, experience, work ethic, that's what I look for; I am interested in hiring a competent person, not someone who simply shares my political leanings. You frequently tout yourself as a "producer" - of what, I don't know. Since you so strongly support the idea of making decisions on the litmus test of whether or not someone supports or opposes Governor Walker, I suggest that you let everyone know the name of your company and what you produce. That way, people who share your ideals can support your business and those that don't can make an educated decision as to whether or not they want to work with you.

One battle lost is not the end of the war. Walker has proven to be the biggest loser that this stateRead More has ever seen. We are almost last in every catagory and if your married with daughters all your thier rights have been taken away by your God. Remember when you and Walker take your place in hell the dead will some day walk the earth again.
