Baby Hannah is in my prayers. We've seen miracles happen. :-)

And her daddy, Army Sgt. Erik Alderin, is also in my prayers for his safety when he returns to Iraq.

Bump!

Army Sgt. Erik Alderin, 22, will head back to the ongoing conflict in Iraq on Saturday — duties with the 101st Airborne Division that he doesn't talk too much about, except to say that it ultimately helps keep his own family safe.

Sgt. Alderin knows why he chooses to risk life and limbs in Iraq. You dishonor him ~ and the rest of our troops ~ by mocking his courageous choice to defend the free world from enemies who burned babies alive in front of their parents to get them to cooperate, and fed opponents to pet lions, and mass-executed children.

Our troops face and take out monsters, so your children can live in freedom.

I'm blessed to have a beautiful 2-year old daughter to hold, and we have another baby due in about five weeks.

With the exception of me I live in an all male household, including the dog :( and my baby turns 21 next month. My revenge will be that they have all girls so I can spoil them rotten.

Get a female dog, too. Companionship for both you and Rover. :-) And go through a rescue group, if possible.

What a great story in more ways that One! This young dad is so mature to give of himself to the military and to fight on the enemy lines. We have adults who are 45 years old and in Hollywood who could not be as mature as this young couple. God Be with them, God have your calming and protective Hand on this family as well as the many others in the same situation.

Our military deserves our praise admiration and prayers.

Thank you for the one who posted this. These are the types of stories I wish our media would cover.

God Bless President Bush and the other leaders.
