COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A local group of mothers who have sons stationed in Kuwait have organized a support group for other families who have servicemembers overseas.

Kathryn Gerke felt that if more parents and spouses could connect like that, it would ease the pain of knowing that a loved one is in a dangerous situation thousands of miles from home.

So they created the Central Ohio Servicemen's Family Support Group, which will be meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at the Powell United Methodist Church at 825 E. Olentangy St. in Powell.

I heard this lovely lady on the John Corby Show on 610 WTVN in Columbus, Ohio yesterday evening. She was trying to organize a support group for local families with loved ones in the service. I contacted her and we put together a web page to help organize the group and let folks know about their first meeting. Any Free Republic members in the Central Ohio area who have a loved one overseas can check it out at:
