Please pray for our guys!
Just found out that 5 of our guys were hit last night....only know about 2 of them, do not know if any of the other 3 were life threatening or not.

I am almost certain my husband was not one of them. I say that because these guys were in a different platoon. But, they and their wives are like family.

One had surgery on arm and is due another one on leg. Another is having surgery on neck in Germany.

Thank you for your prayers for I know this is a praying bunch!

We will keep your brave husband, his friends and brothers, and all others in our prayers.

"To have the United States at our side was to me the greatest joy. Now at this very moment I knew the United States was in the war, up to the neck and in to the death. So we had won after all!...Hitler's fate was sealed. Mussolini's fate was sealed. As for the Japanese, they would be ground to powder."

Well, I found out that one of the guys is coming home (or state side) to Ft. Polk by Saturday....
He does not want to leave his men, but yet would like to come home at the same time. (what a struggle)
Nothing life threatening, but unable to put him back out on patrol.

Thank you for praying for our troops and ALL military!!

I pray daily for all of our men and women fighting this terrifying war. As I tell everyone ... even if you object to this war, we must support our troops.

My son is in the Navy. So far his ship hasn't been deployed there ... yet. I am so afraid for my baby boy. Last I knew, he was directing the landing and take-off of war planes from the ship's deck.

So please, let us all pray for our brave troops. They are all somebody's children. And it's so sad to read about the dead heroes as most of them are so young ... in their teens and early-twenties. This is a sad time for all of us.
