The reason our morale is so high here is because of people like ya'll back home. Knowing that we are going to come home to a grateful nation, and not the travesty that my fathers generation had to endure, makes this grisly task alot easier.
Words cannot thank SpanawayLori and everyone else who has adopted a soldier enough.
It is perhaps a blessing that more media have not come over here to do live feeds. We hate their guts. Even the ones who write neutral articles. They are only interested in profiting form our pain, our blood, our sweat and our tears.
I was interviewed by a writer form the New York times, along with several others. She chose not to use my words., opting for an account that showed Chaos and panic stricken soldiers scrambling wildly to get out of the chow hall. My account was somewhat different. Most of you all are probably familiar with my account by now.

It still gives me shivers to know that so many of you are praying so hard for us. We will not let you down.
Love and Godbless

Prayer request.

A FR Lurker...he RARELY posts. Mostly speaks his thoughts through freepmail. Sent me this note via freepmail today.

>>>Gots some rather bad news one of my cousins boys has disapeared in Iraq. He will show up either dead or on mission. This family doesnt run and he was indoctinated into our silly ass ways. If he is dead that will make 16 from our family either dead or disabled in this war we didnt get hurt this bad in Nam.
Hes been missing three days I just got the word. We have family with his mother.<<<<<

Can we all add some extra prayers for all of our troops?

I've personally gone through an above average amount of candles these past few months.
