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.
Dear Sir,
Our hearts are with you. Thank you for your family's sacrifices and may God bless you and your family.
We will win this election!
:: sends lots of prayers ::
Trust in God!
I pray for that family whose soldier it is, it's somebody's sorrow. Dear God Almighty send comfort.
Prayers being sent up for you, your son and whole family. May you find out very soon that this is not your son they're talking about. But probably is someone else's son - and my heart goes out to them too.
Words cannot express the deep awe, appreciation and respect I feel for all our servicemen and women, past and present. This country would be nowhere without you. Thank you for my freedom. God bless.
I wanted to say something, but don't know what to say seeing as you are not sure if your son is dead.
I guess I will start by saying I HOPE and PRAY that the story is not true.
My prayers are with you and thank you for your families sacrifice. What a great burden you cary. You must be very proud of your son.
Also, thank you for performing your duty as a citizen by voting under such stressful conditons.
God Bless You and Your Family.
Prayers for your son and your family.

'for all the sons of America in harm's way.'
and for all the families whose hearts CLUTCH at 'breaking news'...
this family of FReepers stand with you.
You and your family have our utmost respect and gratitude. If only President Bush could read your post...he would be moved to tears, as we are.
Regards, spectre and wife
Hopefully tomorrow will bring you good news of a Kerry defeat and word your son is well.
God bless you and yours. I will pray for your son and all the other sons and daughters who represent and fight for us. My nephew was there until just a few months ago and many times when we spoke we could hear the live fire coming in behind him. Like you, I will vote for "W". If I could change anything about this situation it would be that we could find a way that us old folks/has-lived-our lives folks could be the ones over there fighting and dying instead of our young people. But I know we could not do nearly as good a job as they do. Again, God Bless you and yours. And, God Bless our President.
Prayers to you
My prayers are with you and your son.
This is the Bush-Cheney ping list -- I think that all of us would like to add our prayers to this thread that God be with this military family as the await news of their son but still are going to vote for Pres Bush tomorrow. These people are true American patriots IMHO! God Bless American_ranger and his family.
I know your fear...everytime I heard of a helicopter down in Iraq I feared the worse, I feared the dreaded knock on the door....prayers to you and your family.......please go to my profile page and read this wonderful poem...about a soldier.
Powder..Patch..Ball Salute!
My son isn't old enough for me to have pain, but he and I already talk about his service when he is.
Prayers for your family, prayers of courage and deliverance, for safety and safe returns....
I too will vote for President Bush. This is why.
