Hello all, I wanted to ping you tonight for a prayer request for my sister.   You may remember that she and her husband lost their firstborn, Samantha, during labor last July.

However, their are some issues surrounding the baby that I would be grateful for some prayers about.   1st of all, their is only one artery in the umbilical cord,...

Please see below:Thiswas writen by my husband, FReeper M1911A1, about his father Jack, who passed away this morning. He was 84 years old.  We have come to refer to the survivors of the Great Depression and WWII as “the Greatest Generation”. This phrase honors those, who like my father, were participants in some of the most difficult and pivotal moments in American history.  Yet, as all labels do, it masks extraordinary individual stories in a generalization.   My dad’s story is the sort that captures a boy’s imagination.  As a young boy himself, he confessed to mischief that I could...

I am PINGING you all tonight because we have had a tragedy in our family today.   My little sister (Renee, 33) and her husband (Kirk, 39) were expecting their first child today.  Renee was induced this morning at a hospital in Grand Rapids, MI.  She was having normal contractions for about three hours and then after her water was broken she began to bleed heavily.  She was rushed in for an emergency C-Section and although the baby was delivered within 4 minutes she had lost too much blood for them to revive her. My niece, little Samantha Sangsland is now in...

Hi All..  Never posted anything but replies before today. Please move this to an appropriate venue, if this is not.   But I have a question I thought some nice Freeper would be able to help with.   My husband is a MSgt. in the Marine Corps, stationed in Kuwait at Camp Commando. He flew a commemorative flag in honor of  both of our boys.  The flags were flown over Camp Commando on the 4th of July.  Each comes with a very nice certificate authenticating the event.   My question is;  Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a...
