You know what might be a great Idea? Lets set up a time here in a few minutes where we could all take a minute and pray for these guys success and safety. What does everyone think?

We do need to pray for our American troops, they are really facing a troublesome time. Pray for our leaders, and pray for our Nation that we love to much.
