We can adopt a Marine tho BQ!! I did that about a year ago. All I know is his name is John W. I pray for him each morning and his family. I have had two messages of appreciation from the family although I don't know who that is. It is just from "the family". There are still more to adopt tho.
That's soooo nice - thanks! When my brother was lying in the trenches for eight months, waiting to liberate Kuwait from Saddam in Persian Gulf I, it was a long and lonely time. He gave me the names of several Marines who did not really have much family or outside contact. It was even tougher for them then as far as news, etc.(even though they are Marines :) - without radio, television, email ... and no matter what good buddies you have around you, it is nice to have that outside contact -just to know others are praying for you. When everyone came home, I got to meet some of the guys I'd been writing...
