Come home, come home,

I was thinking Thanksgiving, but you are right it is a wonderful Christmas story.
You lips to God's ears.
Thanks for the bump. Everyone needs to see this one.
I have prayed it every day I've been here. I've stood in my doorway listening to firefights and prayed it. I've heard countless bombs go off, both near (sometimes too near) and far and I've prayed it. I've seen some horrendous things that drove me to prayers for peace, for all of this to end in victory for us and for the Iraqis. And now, it appears to be happening.
My niece's husband just deployed in September, and so the war has an even more intense interest.
My deep gratitide to him for a job well done.
He is complaining that he can't find any action. We are just thankful.
Gotta love our troops. ;-)
Don't be too thankful. You can't leave an active military deployed for very long with nothing to do. They will get together and find something to do with their buddies. Like get into some sort of trouble.
Beautiful and heartwarming.
Always good to hear from you. Take care.
Thanks for posting. Hooray Michael Yon! Iraqi freedom!
BUMP-TO-THE-TOP!
Keep it bumped, everyone needs to read it. Thanks!
YW and I agree.
Yon Rox!! Great Story
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
Oh thank you, Lord. Tears. Just breathtakingly wonderful.
To see the Muslims sitting in a Catholic church, begging their Catholic countrymen to come back home .... it’s unbelievable.
God be with them all... God bless and protect our troops.
The American military is indescribably amazing .. God’s hand is truly miraculous. My heart sings with praise to Him.
Allegra .. I can’t imagine how full your heart is to see this. Prayers for your niece’s husband .. and for you. THANK YOU for being there and relating the hopeful progress you’ve seen.
Actually, it's Tennessean4Bush's niece's husband who is here. I neglected to italicize that in my post. Apologies.
THANK YOU for being there and relating the hopeful progress youve seen.
It is my pleasure and I am honored and humbled by the opportunity I was given to be a small part of this. :-)
Thanks so much for posting such good news. One more thing to be thankful for during this season!
Praise God.
If this doesn't deserve to be bumped, nothing does. Thanks for posting (you owe me a box of Kleenex :-)
Ditto that. And, thank you for such a great site.
Excellent. Thx.
There is no depth to which they will not sink.
Things have improved so much in Iraq since August that my head is spinning. They have improved beyond my wildest dreams.
Members of the hard-fighting Iraqi Army 3rd Division were also here for this special day.
That line really stands out ... if all you hear is the MSM, you wouldn't even know that the Iraqi Army exists, or that it has a 3rd Division ... and you'd certainly never know that it is a competent, capable, professional outfit.
A pox on MSM.
