Thanks you for posting this message. As a former Marine please convey my deepest respect to your friend, and thank her for both her sacrifice and that of her family. Thank her for putting aside her fear and seeing the situation in Iraq for what it is: the battle of Good versus Evil. Her sons and the thousands like him are fighting for the freedom God intended all of us to have. Having a son away at war is no easy matter, and our hearts and prayers are with her. May God's Blessing be upon your friend, her family, and her son.
Once a Marine always a Marine is RIGHT. Again I have to thank all of you for this support and I would comment to each and every one of you but I don't want to take up all the board space. But please know that I have read and re-read all of your posts and they have ALL helped lift my spirits. I cannot thank you all enough. Carrie
