I have 2 Sons over there,

I have 2 Sons over there, and another leaving in April

I am Proud of them.

They were in most of the wars over the years. They are still proud to Serve.

They have seen first hand what it is like there and what is going on. With the people and the area.

My sons had a nice long talk with me, when they were home, they said mom, "You don't ever want that here".

My sister-in-law has two

My sister-in-law has two soldier sons, one of whom has completed 2 tours of duty in Iraq. In my whole life I have never had to bear a burden as painful as her fear for them. At night she sits alone in the darkness praying for their safety. She fasts for them. She makes a daily holy hour.
I join my prayer to hers and I extend them to join yours. May God give you stregnth and courage and lead your children safely home.
I pray too that other mothers not bear your burden. I pray that they all come safely home.
