My best friend called this morning, in a panic, because her baby, Tracey, will be deployed to Iraq in a few months. Turns out he finagled a transfer because he wants to go. She's proud of him, but also very frightened.
So please pray for not only Tracey, but Nora as well. Mainly pray for Tracey's safety and his mom's peace of mind, but also for their general well being.
Thanks. I'm proud of my Godson. :-)
Tracey and family will be in my prayers.
Tell Nora that the vast majority of Americans who go to Iraq come back just fine. ;-)
I'm proud of your Godson, too. I will gladly keep his family in my prayers, and please express my family's sincere gratitude for his defense of our freedom.
Done
Prayers going out. My daughter came back in February after a year. Start reading the real news stories, and send them to your friend.
Oh man. I hope I didn't triple or quadruple post this, or worse. First I had something else I wanted to add, which I'll follow up with after I post this, and I stopped it and added my extra thoughts, and then kept getting a message, "temporarily unavailable."
One more thing: I plan to print out this thread and mail it to Nora and Tracey, so if you want to share words of encouragement with them, please feel free to do so.
Thanks again.
I'll say a prayer for his safety. I'll also say one to thank God for giving us young men like Tracey who are willing to risk their lives to protect our freedom.
I will pray for the young man. GREAT news.. My nephew just came back from Iraq this week. We are all so happy. He just married 6 weeks before he was deployed. They are so happy to be back in one another's arms.
We prayed for him the whole time he was over there and we always pray for all of our military. They are our brave heroes....
Prayers up, hugs out! Many thanks from me and my family.
He's in God's Hands. Prayers for him, his family, for all.
I will keep him in my prayers. He is doing the right thing and is doing it for all of us.
My son is over there now.
They, as well as the contractors, are indeed part of the greatest generation!
Prayers from TX
The Lord be with him
The chances of dying in Iraq are 0.0002%
The odds of dying in the streets of Chicago on a Friday after midnight are much higher.
Viva le Bush
My prayers go out to your godson and I only wish my son grows up to be as brave as your him.
Tracey-Thank you so much for your service. Please pass on to your fellow heroes that the main of America loves and supports them. OTH, d*mn the left, politicians playing politics and MSM. Godspeed....
Offering my prayers
A. He's not a baby. Sounds like man to me.
B. Probably the terrorist that need to be worried, not you and your friend.
C. I pray that he serves with courage and honor.
