OK, Sorry. I added one too many letters. Here's the corrected link.

Click on Multimedia and turn up volume. Three flash presentations. My sis sent me this site.

Actually there are four presentations, not three. I just sat through them again with my youngest. She hadn't seen them yet.

First two bring tears, "Red, White and Blue" is so uplifting. Great song!

Dear Sharon,

You're absolutely right. You are there because God has a reason for you to be there. One day, we will see the whys and wherefores, but for now, that you are walking with Him, no matter what, no matter where, is the important thing.

May He surround you with His protection and give you the strength and peace you need to do His Will. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

Prayer does work.

Our son is now back state-side from a tour in Baghdad, we prayed day and nite. Our prayers were answered.

Please pray for the MArines still there.

Thanks for sharing; the enormity of their (the troops) sacrifice is not lost on my family.

Just as they have never let us down, we here at home should be just as diligent and unwavering in our support.

Prayers for the POTUS and the Troops this day and all the days to come. May God Bless them, keep them safe, and give them courage and strength.

Dearest Sharon,

In times of need, the Lord will show you the way.

Lifting you up in prayer so as to lighten your burden.

You will be remembered in our family's prayers each day.

God Bless you and all our brave troops.

Pegita, your words are so inspiring and beautiful.

May I ask for your prayer for Sharon and our military on this thread?

Sharon, I know your life will never be the same having done and seen what you have done and seen there in Iraq. I hope that I realize that my life is not the same either because of what you are doing. Thank you for the service and sacrifice that you are making. God bless and protect you and your fellow troops.

Father, thank you for the opportunity to give thanks to you and Sharon. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. Please protect everyone in Iraq and Afghanastan fighting to stop terrorism and rebuild those countries. I ask for wisdom, grace and mercy, and perservance for the leaders, troops, and the overseas contractors. Father please help them to stop the plans of the enemy. I ask that many will come to know you, that you will use this opportunity for others to come to know you as his and her Father, Lord, Savior, Friend, Help, and Teacher. I ask these things for the American people and the citizens of the other countries involved infighting terrorism and terrorists. Let us not grow weary in this battle and this war. Bless us with your grace and mercy Father. In Jesus name, Amen.
