We can ping-pong this bump. I'm being selfish....want to see activity on this thread. We got more news in bits and pieces from my brother about the attack on his convoy last Monday. It was HIS soldier that died, and my brother tried to save him, but couldn't. It was a small convoy, so John was very very lucky not to be hurt.

Was he protected by the FreeRepublic prayer warriors? He's only been in Iraq 1 month and on this list for as long. Keep at it, I know that I am having trouble sleeping these days.

He was 8 years old when I left for college, the same age as my son is now. He is sort of imprinted in my mind at that age. As a mother myself, I don't know how my mom can stand it.

Thanks gang.

I couldn't agree with you more. Bumps for the troops prayer list and for all the brave young men and women who I have to thank for my continued freedom.

Extra special prayers for your brother who has just endured something noone should have to. For our freedom...it's staggering.
