Please stay strong. I know it must be hard. But our troops over here need calm and support from the homefront.

Especially in light of idiotic remarks made by people like Reid and Pelosi.

I tell my family and friends to ignore the media. They are making things much worse than they really are. I see it when I'm home...after a few days, I catch myself thinking things have gotten much worse and that it's turning into a disaster. Then I remember that I'm getting the media's perspective, not the real one. So, believe me, I can understand.

Prayers up that Robert and Jeremy will be covered by the protective wings of our Lord and will return home safe and sound.

May God spread his angels’ wings over all and keep you in peace.

May God welcome the ones that passed with open arms, and care for the one that survived, as He does with all our people who go in harm's way. May He build a hedge of protection around them and bring them safely home, in Jesus' name.

I send all the moral support I can.

My thoughts are very divided today. The troops are fighting for us and the Congress is giving away our country with the immigration travesty.

Good Morning!

Praying for these soldiers, their families, and for all our troops and their families (including YOU!!!) May God give you His comfort, and give you strength to meet the day’s trials. Keep leaning on His everlasting Arms; He will never fail you. (Psalm 121 may give you some comfort.)

[Sensei Ern]

Prayers up.

[SoldierDad]

You bring encouragement and comfort Allegra, and for that I give great thanks.
