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.

American ranger,

Thank you for your courage and resolve at such a difficult time. It's a horrible feeling knowing your child is in danger and there's nothing you can do for them. I'm praying that this is not your son. My prayer is also for those who have lost their son, that the Lord will comfort them and give them strength to endure their pain. Prayers also for those injured and all of our brave men and women who have carried the battle to our enemies. God bless.

May God hold you and your family close and give you peace and strength. May He watch over your son and all of our troops in harm's way, in Jesus' name.

I care if it's your son - anyone's son.

They are fighting for us and our country.

God bless them and their families.

Your son is lucky to have you both.

Some parents discredit the memory of their lost soldier by attacking the war on terror and President Bush.

Others grieve but honor the memory of their child.

I'm praying for you.

I am years behind you -- my little boys are asleep just down the hallway. My prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for raising your boys into the kind of men who so honor our country. Would that we all be such good parents.
