I feel terrible as armymarinemom admonished me for stating what I felt. She asked to not get into this on this thread. I meant no disrespect. I pray for the safe return of this hero but I fear the worst.

I knew why you were reacting like you did...

I saw your post to her..and I am sure she understands.

I am going to concentrate with you and others, on this thread...to praying to get this soldier back.

All of you family members of troops that are over there now, or have lost their loved one over there are going through a LOT...and we understand the fear and frustration you all have.

You said what you feel. Sometimes its easy to forget that we have people here who are close to the situation. Its hard because we have the legitimate reality discussion to do and at the same time are talking about friends and families.

Joe- all of us with family over there get mad from time to time- sometimes it's because we ship a box that doesn't make it to our soldier on time. ;-) One thing to remember that my daughter has often told me is that when they leave on mission they leave their politics at the gate. They have to because they have an oath to uphold, nothing less and no matter what. I try to remember that when I want to vent about things, and it really helps. I hope you'll stick around- we can use all the military family support we can get.

Prayers up this soldier is safe and is found quickly. Prayers for his loved ones who are worried sick. Prayers up for those soldiers who are working to find him- Dear G-d please give them extra them wisdom.
