Her name is Jessica and she went into the army right out of high school. She actually got a sharp shooter medal while in training. She might need it as she is a convoy driver just like the girl's and guys who got ambushed, killed and kidnapped earlier in the war.
She was very anxious to go and serve her country, her mother is my closest niece and I can't imagine how she is coping, but she is very proud of Jess, as am I. Except I am very worried about her.
I wish we could surround her and all the rest of the servicemen and women with a cloak of prayer protection. That's a prayer thread we could use, spectre. :-)
Here's Jessica's picture the day she shipped out for Iraq:
Prayers on her way now.
Prayers for Jessica's safety.

Troop Prayer Thread 10 - A Year of VICTORY
I am on the Iraq war/Afghanistan news thread and pray on those threads now..Jessica is in my prayers.
Consider it done! Prayers for you, too.
I happened to watch a few minutes of Larry King. Boy, was that grayhaired man who also looks uptight outraged about Scott being guilty. And Henry Lee chirped in with no evidence. I noticed that Henry Lee seems to support husbands or ex-husbands accused of killing their wives such as OJ (where he presented outrageous testimony).
Prayers for Jessica to be kept safe.
Keeping Jessica and your niece in my prayers.
My husband's, niece's son, also just arrived in Iraq. He graduated last year and went into the Marines. I just received word he is helping with supplies in the fighting going on in Fallujah.
Bless your niece hergus. I will keep her on my prayer chain.
All our best to Jessica, hergus. We'll keep her close to our hearts.

Prayers for Jessica bump. God bless and keep her.
