Pray For My Son

Posted on 12/03/2003 8:09:52 AM PST by justshutupandtakeit

I want to ask all Freepers to send their prayers up to the Most High God and ask his protection for my older son. He will be heading for boot camp at Great Lakes Naval Training Center on Monday after finishing his undergrad work in college. Arlen will be entering the Nuclear Engineering field in the Navy and will have specialized training down in Charleston, SC.

His late mom would be proud of him as am I for serving his country in a time of need. Two of my brothers served in the Navy and a third, now deceased, was career Air Force.

I know with the prayers of Freepers across our great land behind him he will do well. He occasionally posts here as Mark Antony.

You got it! I'll add him to my nightly prayers for our armed forces.

Please thank him for his service for me. And GO NAVY...my father was a career Naval officer and my brother served as well.
