Thank you for this thread GrandmaC.
To GrandmaC’s nephew and the soldiers with him,
Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you as you go about your job each day.
Please accept my deepest thanks and respect for the mission you are accomplishing and the lives you are protecting here and in Iraq.
My husband is in the Army and has been to Iraq once already and may be called again soon for another tour. So know that I understand the pain of separation and the joy of reunion. In this light, my prayers and thoughts are with your families also.
I can’t imaging what you go through each day or how you must feel being there. I will pray for each of you especially after the recent loss. My prayers are with those families also.
May God bless and keep you safe so you may return home quickly to the people who miss you most.
Thank you so much
