Please thank your sons/brother for their service to our country. God bless them and you.

My prayers are with you as I know reports such as this only increase your worry. May God keep them safe.

Thank you! It is gut wrenching to say the least, 3 weekends in a row for the 101st. Time to quit playing nice, their so called holy month is over.

Thank you so much. Just got a call from Ryan (the first in a month) and he said he was in an intense hour long firefight in the town of Khaldiyah Thursday night. His unit consisting of 20 soldiers was surrounded by about 50 insurgents. RPG's were flying over their heads and they heard bullet's wizzings all around them. The insurgents also attempted to walk mortar rounds into their position. Air support was called in and bombs were dropped on the house from which RPG's were seen fired. My son said one soldier was slightly injured, all are doing well. We pray for him everyday.
