Nephew Heading to Afganistan

[ut1992]

The phones have been ringing of the hooks this morning in the UT1992 family (across the US and around the world). It is official that my nephew (oldest brother's son) is being shipped out to Afganistan. My nephew called us this morning to break the news.

Although we are all a solid military family, with family members having served in the military and/or seen action in every war/conflict since the civil war, it is still difficult news to hear.

He told me told he was scared, but knows that it is his duty and that he is proud to serve.

The ladies of the UT1992 family are now frantically trying to plan a big family get together in the next few weeks in his honor; leading the charge is Grandma UT1992. So it looks like my better-half and I will be heading to Las Vegas or Texas in the next two weeks.

“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.

God Bless your nephew and family! Please thank him for serving his country and keeping the USA safe!

We constantly put down this younger generation of kids but consider this; they're joining the military in a time of war, voluntarily.

God bless him and your family.

I’d like to thank him personally for doing this for all freedom loving people.

Please tell him for me, and my best to you.
