Thank YOU for the uplifting story. Too much bad news as of late. I`m glad everything is working out. May God keep him safe until he`s home, and all our sons and daughters abroad until they arrive home as well.
Thanks for the update.
We are still praying for Benjamins wounds to heal quickly as well as for the rest of his group remaining in Iraq.
Also for all the military remaining in Iraq and Afghanistan!!! (we are mailing a large box of Christmas stockings and goodies to the guys and gals in Afghanistan tomorrow).
I used to live fairly close to Twentynine Palms when I lived in California so we always heard the news about the Marines stationed there.
Keep us updated, we feel like part of the family now.
God speed......
Oh my! God has other plans for our Benjamin. Tell Shirley as a mom I can only imagine her elation that her son will soon be coming home to the fold. God bless her for raising a good son! Thanks for update Alhpa.
I'm sitting here saying "Oh my Lord", while reading this update!! I am just so thankful to the good Lord up above that Ben is doing okay!!! Thank you so much for keeping us updated, they are in my prayers everyday!!! I am so very proud of them, and so thankful that we have such brave and selfless young men and women like Ben to defend us here at home!! God Bless them!!!! :)

UPDATE ON BENJAMIN!
FROM SHIRLEY,HIS MOM.
THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS!
Dear all, I know that some of you got "the word" at church today but it
is now easier to send this to the whole list. Benjamin is in the USA.
He has made it as far as Washington DC. We don't know where in
Washington DC but somewhere. He is on the "slow boat" to California.
The plane will be stopping and dropping off troops at bases across the
country. He got to Washington late in the day on Saturday and will be
there possibly until Monday. I don't know whether he will make it home
for Thanksgiving but we will be thankful to get him whenever he arrives.
Once he gets to California there will be some medical work to do and I am
sure paperwork to get him processed.
Other news--a Life magazine photographer was taking pictures
during Benjamin's surgery. It should be in next month's issue. The
local paper called and wants to have a photographer at the airport when
he comes home. No more news--it is just a waiting game now. Thanks
again for your love and prayers--shirley
THANKYOU AND GOBLESS YOU FREEPER SAINTS!
YOUR PRAYERS HAVE BROUGHT LOUDLY THE ATTENTION THE WHOLE BODY OF CHRIST MINISTERS TO THE SAINTS HERE AT THE LITTLE CHURCH.

Prayers continue for his healing!
May God wrap His arms around these men and their families.
