One of my coworkers at my part time job has a son that was in the group that went in in Iraq yesterday. I do not know his name but please remember him in your prayers as well. He told his mom that the Iraqi military is great but the police could not be trusted that they could be bought off.
Will remember to keep your coworker's son in my prayers - his mom, too. Has to be such a hard thing to send your son off to war. :(
