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.
I pray for your son who is a HERO, and I pray for W.
OH MY!! My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless you for your tenacity!! Please let us know when you hear your son is ok.
I join in prayer for your son's well being and for those who serve with him. I pray also you and the family and thank God for all of our heroes and their loved ones!
May the Lord keep your son in his protection. I pray that God's comfort and strength will get you through this period of waiting.
Ranger,
Prayers to you and your family at this tough time. Thank you for your son's bravery to be there.

Sir I am here for you and your family if you need anything

Many prayers.
My family prays for all of our brave men and women in harms way. May God Bless your family and friends. I only hope God smiles on our President today, a smile for him is a blessing for all good Americans.

Those in this nation who have so little at stake tend to take their freedoms and blesings for granted, and are frivolous in how they exercise their right to vote. Thank you for your example of courage and commitment, and the desire to do what is right, even in the face of testing and axiety. We owe it to your son, whatever his fate, to do the right thing tomorrow, and not break faith with him, his fellow soldiers, and the people of Afghanistan.
Psalm 27
Of David.
The LORD is my light and my salvation-
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life-
of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
One thing I ask of the LORD ,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.
Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD .
Hear my voice when I call, O LORD ;
be merciful to me and answer me.
My heart says of you, "Seek his face!"
Your face, LORD , I will seek.
Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
O God my Savior.
Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
Teach me your way, O LORD ;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing out violence.
I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD ;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD .
American Ranger,
After my Father passed, I found his Bible in his bedroom and this passage was the last he was reading. I found much comfort in this and I hope you do too.
I'm praying for your family and your son.
Prayers for your family
