Our friends' daughter is on her way home from Iraq! She was in the Stryker brigade that had been held over for another four months. But she's on her way back to base, and will be home for Christmas. I e-mailed her Dad last night, when I read about the group on FR, and he wrote back to day that she had called at 3:30 in the morning to let them know she was on the way. He woke her Mom up so she could talk to her. Needless to say they're thrilled. But I wanted to add their oldest son, Tommy, to the list, now. He's a missle specialist, and is in the Middle East somewhere keeping tabs on Iran, so prayers will be appreciated for him.
That is good news. I hate anytime our troops are injured/killed & for some reason when they are women my heart hurts just a bit more..
