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.

You are obviously good people. I thank you for your family and dedication. I will pray for your son and whoever it was who gave their life for me and my family.

God bless. I pray it's not your son.
But my sadness is tempered with resolve knowing that you see the truth.
My heart is indeed open to you.

My son is 3 and I just put him to bed. I can only imagine what it must take to send a son to fight. Praying for you and your son.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I will pray for you and your family. I will have your son put on our prayer list. We will be praying for your son and his well being.

Tell your wife President Bush will be re-elected, many Christians have had visions and dreamed dreams of President Bush's re-election. God Bless and keep you and your family.

My son is in the Army stationed in El Paso. His MOS is Patriot Missles, and he was with the AF stationed in Saudi when the terrorists bombed the Khobar Towers. When my husband called me at work to tell me of the bombing I experienced--for a very short time-- the awful fear of hearing the worst.

My heart hurts to hear that you are having to endure this right now--yet I rejoice to know you love your country enough to go out tomorrow and vote for our President.

I will pray very earnestly that your son is safe and sound. But if he is not, I pray that God will give you the Comfort His Son promised those that mourn. I came to know it very well when my beloved husband died almost three years ago. I miss him so, but I know he is truly safe and sound--and when I get worried about what could happen to my son, I am gently reminded by my dear Lord that His everlasting arms are around my son too--no matter what happens to him here on earth.

God bless you sir--and keep you and and give you His peace!

Our prayers are with you. God bless you with strength and comfort.

Far too many families are suffering because of a group of ungodly fanatics. Thank God for folks like you and your son for protecting this nation and freedom.

Praying for your son now. My own son emailed me this today from the Triangle. He's tired but steady on.

It is easy to see that you have been granted the Grace of the Lord. Prayers that your son returns safely.
