How DARE you!!

There is nothing WASTED about a life sacrificed for the cause of FREEDOM.

There is nothing WASTED about a life of service and honor!

How DARE you!!

I was just snacking, I'm still full from breakfast.

Glad it wasn't an all-you-can-eat buffet! That would be a major ABUSE BUTTON alert!

Well said. My sentiments -- I was trying to supress them and be civil.

That's totally inappropriate for this thread. All I have to say is, you should be thanking those lives for your freedom to post that, and the freedom you have everyday.

This thread is for the support and encouragement of our friends.

I hit the abuse button.

On a thread where there are many whose loved ones are sacrificing for the cause of freedom in this very JUST cause, it is nothing short of cruel to say what he said....

The stress is enormous, isn't it? Enormous....

Its not something you can explain to someone who has not experienced it, even we tend to not realize what is happening to ourselves as a result. I have been very grateful to all the prayers from Freepers many times

Im here...putzing around the house...my family has been calling wanting news... I can't tell them anything...I just have to wait.....Im sure that the Major would notify me if anything happened to Mike...I just don't know how long it would take....like I said, Anaconda is a very large base, some mortars have been within a 100ft of him, and he has slept through other attacks....all that coffee never interfers with his sleep..LOL....

There is no way to explain this kind of stress, IMO. I have found that I never feel well, I never have much energy, I don't sleep well.........and it's all because of one young man 7,000 miles from here, and it won't go away until he's safe at home........

Waiting is the hardest part, isn't it. I'm sure he'll contact you as soon as he can.

Did you have a fun day with Brandon yesterday?

God's peace to you, mystery!
