PRAYER WARRIOR FIELD TRIP!

Here is one more which I am certain you would not want to miss. Many thanks to each of you who pinged me!

RaceBannon posted a letter which General Major General James Mattis, the Commanding officer of the 1st MEF in Iraq wrote to the families of his troops back home. Not only is the letter itself inspiring, but the thread itself is too. Race informs us that a link to the thread has been sent to the General so everyone has the opportunity to send thanks, best regards, and other well wishes directly to him on the thread.

Finally took a few moments to rest in this peaceful place. TEX, thanks for your passionate leadership these difficult days. It is such a joy to be able to send worried loved ones your way - and recruit other FReepers by posting links to your inspired words.

Adding my prayers to those of our FR 'army' for Ordinary_American in Afghanistan, and JeeperFreeper's Marine son in Fallujah.

Thanks to RaceBannon for lifting up the families by sharing General Mattis's e-mail with us.

Thanks for the happy diversions, too, TEX - 'cept maybe the 'creepycrawly' one. *g*
