A special Good Morning to you, Donaeus, and we will be lifting up your Marine friend, Jim, this day.
We ask God to guide the surgeons to a successful outcome for this fourth stomach surgery, and for God to hold Jim in His loving hands.
This need I added as well to the beautiful thread for Little Logan, entitled Prayer Request for a Tiny Baby - a preemie weighing under two pounds when born in August, who through God's mercy is now home and thriving!
The thread now has 5, 210 replies...
Last night I mentioned on it to Humidston Logan needs one of those Glow Worms we had for our children, and another poster picked up on that - extended it to the fact now Logan is our Glow Worm for Jesus!!
The story of this litle one has touched the lives of hundreds in a significant and positive way.
The thread addresses many other medical needs, and Jim will be lifted up all over our America The Beautiful, thanks to you, Donaeus.

My wife is meeting with his wife today so I should have an update later. Last I knew he was holding his own.
Still in a coma but the doctors were cutting back on the meds to try and bring him around.

Greetings all.
I promised to keep you updated on my daughter, Holly. She has just graduated Air Force Basic Military Training, So here goes.
My son and I spent 4 days in TX for her BMT graduation. A curious series of events made the whole trip possible.
We made it to the Parade Ground early and without incident. The ceremony was really something to see and hear. I had seen Holly's HS marching band and was very impressed, but Holy Cow! The Air Force band was jaw-dropping good. Holly's flight(the "Wolf Pack" how appropriate for a MN kid!) had the honor of carrying the Flags of the US. All the States, Territories, etc.. She ended up carrying the Wisconsin flag. I have a great photo of her carrying it. Believe me, she was raised a Vikings fan and the photo of her carrying the state flag of the hated Packers will earn her lifelong ribbing.
My first question to her was "Any regrets?". "None. I love it.". That was pretty much the answer I got from every airman I asked.
We toured the barracks and that is when I first started to hear from families and TIs what a great airman my kid was. I must admit the one thing I was dying to hear was if she got her Marksmanship ribbon. 40 rounds. Need to get 35 on target. She was 32 out of 35 when her M-16 jammed. She was pretty peaved, and still is, about that.
Her orders, as of today, are to report to the DLI and begin her language training. She was lamenting how she was just beginning to feel at home and comfortable now has to ship-out. I reminded her that she will be living in Monterey CA for quite some time. She's psyched!
I have to say, my whole experience left me with a huge smile! I have no doubt the best US ambassadors to the world are our military.
I could go on for ever, but I hate typing.
Thank you, God! I am truly a blessed man.
p.s. photos as soon as I get them scanned.

Spruce, I wanted to bring your post from last night over to today's thread, because this also seems a most appropriate post for today. Thank you for the update on your daughter, and 'thank your daughter FOR us' for what she's giving to her country.
I have no doubt the best US ambassadors to the world are our military.
Agree! I love this quote.

Good morning, ladtx. I also thought today's post was appropriate for another of your Vietnam tributes to your fallen comrades. God Bless these five brave men's families. Thank you for doing this bonus tribute today.
