This is his second tour of duty. He was in Iraq for six months. He came home, and his wife had their baby. Now he's in Fallajah. He'll come home again to that new son of his, I'm sure!

Thanks for the prayers.

I wrote this a little over a year ago before the start of the war. Thought it might be appropriate to repost about now:


My Prayer in this Troubled Time

May our troops have:

The bravery and patriotism of Wallace
The character, intelligence and luck of Washington
The fearlessness and boldness of Patton
The swiftness of Alexander the Great
The good aim of Sergeant York
The coolness under fire of Teddy Roosevelt
The determination and logistical ability of Eisenhauer
The patience of Andrew Jackson
The perseverence of Grant
The genius of Stonewall Jackson
The ability of Robert E. Lee
The faith of Abraham
The invulnerability and success of David
The unswerving support and prayers of the American people
And above all, the blessing of the Lord of Hosts!
