Thank you Kathy. This song is one I draw strength from.
Thank you Ms.B.
I know you are fatima, along will all my other FRiends here on FR. I send my thanks to you all, and add my prayers to yours for these incredibly brave soldiers.
And for that I give many thanks. I cannot find words to adequately express my appreciation to all here on FR at this time.
We are right here for you, always...
(((((((((Soldier Dad)))))))))))
Ms.B
I know where to be when I need a shoulder (((((((HUGS))))))). I must go write some reports for work now. I don’t feel like writing tonight, but I can’t put it off any longer. I’ll check in again later.

we pray every day for our soldiers (as sooo many do). I have 3 friends with sons over there—I’ve watched every one of those boys grow up. We don’t talk about what’s going on or listen to news. We just pray. That’s the best thing.
Well I told him at dinner and we always say Grace so we prayed for them.Bump.
I’ve been watching this soldier’s blog (I think I originally found it here on FR): http://badgerjake.blogspot.com/ I’m going to be watching closely for the next few days to see if he posts.
Let’s not speculate at all. He has been uncommunicative before and everything was fine. I have a feeling that they are just extremely busy and have no access to computers or other means of communication.
((((hugs))))
I join in prayer for our heroes and their loved ones!
A hug for you... I know it is so hard. My paratrooper nephew (even though he’s my sister’s son, he’s *my* first “baby”) is over there right now in that area, and I just couldn’t tell my mother yet, she’s worried sick about him already without hearing this.
A prayer for Robert, and a prayer for Josh, and a prayer for all our men and women in uniform. May God shelter them in His Arms...
Though you may feel alone, you are not. Though I didn’t worry for my son, I do so now for your son and all my newfound children.
Amen. Your nephew will be in our prayers, along with all of our troops.
While at work I have the feeling of being alone. But, when I am able to log onto FR, that feeling subsides.
Thank you Kitty Mittens. I can’t express how much your prayers mean to us.
Praying that Our Lord surrounds your son and his comrades with angels of protection.
Our thanks to you for those prayers Diver Dave.
I certainly will. Please keep us updated when you hear from both of these heroes.
