My Son May be Dead

Posted on 11/01/2004 5:38:38 PM PST by american_ranger

Tomorrow I and my wife will vote for George W. Bush. Tonight, I heard on the radio that an Army soldier was killed in an ambush in southeast Afghanistan. My son is stationed in southeast Afghanistan. I checked Fox news and they have an article about a US soldier killed and two wounded in a patrol near Orgun. My son is on a patrol near Orgun. I do not care if it is him, tomorrow we will still vote for Bush. God bless America and God bless President Bush.

I have not told my wife. She is worried enough that Kerry might win. She does not need this additional worry.

My son was once in harm's way, (news of a mine being stepped on during Op Provide Comfort) and I had to live through waiting for that call.

Fortunately for me, but not for another mother, it wasn't my son, but hers.

It doesn't matter though. I grieved for her son as I would have my own.

It is no comfort to think that at least our sons have died for a good cause, and not a stupid auto accident. There is still a hole in our hearts, an unfinished life story.

We love them no matter how they are taken from us. And no matter how great or senseless the reason, they were the babies we fed, nurtured, rejoiced in, and who are now lost to us, too soon, unfinished, ended before their lives really began.

I will pray for whoever's mother's heart is devastated tonight. I wish I didn't have to, though, and that all our sons were safe in this terrible world.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Take care of their son and all the other most brave and faithful of Your soldiers who are fighting not only for the freedom of American but for the freedom of the world.

In His Name we humbly pray,

Amen.

God Bless you, your family and your brave son.

My prayers are with your son and family, that he will be safe and you will hear from him soon. I will also pray for the soldier who did die and the family who will shoulder this terrible grief. Our children in harm's way need a strong, committed leader. George W. is such a leader. God Bless You for taking the time to write to us. This group stands with you.

You are a great father. My granddaughter's husband is in Afghanistan. I think he's near Jalamabad. We'll be waiting to hear and praying for all our dear troops. God bless America. God bless our troops and God bless our Commander in Chief.

I pray that it is not your son. Unfortunately, someone's son did fall in defense of this nation.

Dear American Ranger,
I read your story and I am Praying for your SON to be alive and well. I too will be voting for Pres. Bush. He has HEART and DETERMINATION. Again, I hope you will get word that your son is Safe! I Thank him for his hard work and Patriotism so that we can be FREE. God Bless you all.
