Ok....try to stay calm....I heard the evac'ed the base, so that may be the holdup....Im glad your family is there with you.

Prayers for protections for our men and women him 'harm's way'.

This war horrible and open-ended; but thank God, we have a willing and dedicated Military. And good citizens here, it seems must work to ensure that the Democrats do not pull the rug out from underneath them.

God Bless them all, and especially those in eminent danger.

No apologies necessary! Thanks for the ping.

[ohioWfan]

Where did you hear that they evacuated?

[boxerblues]

from the reports on Fox News & Cnn the injured were evac'd

[mystery-ak]

Fox had a blurb a little while ago...the troops are returning to the base....Im sure they just scattered...they can't group together.....any news?

[PoisedWoman]

Pleased to respond to the ping with a prayer for the 35 wounded American servicemen and women. May God protect them, bind up their wounds, soothe their hearts, and give them courage to stay strong at this time of chaos.

They're all our children, every member of the service serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and each is precious to us. I pray for them all every day.

[RobbyS]

Ap is still foing their thing, I see. To the Iraqis: what did these people do wrong: they are bringing retaliation down on their heads by attacking our troops.

[hoosierpearl]

Prayers for your family and your son this night Ohio. Prayers for good news soon about Eric.

God is in control. He will lift you up.

[jtill]

oWf, prayers for Eric's safety are never ending. Additional prayers being raised for you and your family. Like a comforting blanket, may God's peace remain with you all.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Still waiting for CENTCOM and DoD details, ohioWfan. I promise to ping you as soon as the report's up.
