I missed your post earlier, skimask. Thank you for the picture of your son and please thank him, for us, for serving. May I include his picture in our groups of Freepers (and Freepers' relatives) to be added (above) to the main thread on Monday & Tuesday?
I have added him now to my Military Prayer List.

Our guys are so wonderful....I have seen a few pictures of their kindness to little children that make me cry. Its a good cry. Thanks, Billie. My husband used to say that I cried at Hallmark card commercials. And I have, some of them get to you!

Rus, I will include Sgt Hull’s photo in the next collage, too, if you can contact dwhole2th for permission. There should be enough now to include group 16!

Two things they teach Marines:
1. Keep your priorities in order
2. Know when to act without hesitation.
A college professor, an avowed atheist, was teaching his class. He shocked
several of his students when he flatly stated he was going to prove there
was no God. Addressing the ceiling he shouted: "God, if you are real, then
I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!" The
lecture room fell silent. You could have heard a pin fall. Ten minutes went
by. Again he taunted God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm still waiting." His
count-down got down to the last couple of minutes when a Marine - just
released from active duty and newly registered in the class - walked up to
the professor, hit him full force in the face, and sent him tumbling from
his lofty platform. The professor was out cold! The students were shocked
and babbled in confusion. The young Marine took a seat in the front row
and sat silent. The class fell silent.....waiting. Eventually, the
professor came to, shaken. He looked at the young Marine in the front row.
When the professor regained his senses and could speak he asked: "What's the
matter with you? Why did you do that?" The young Marine answered, "God was
busy. He sent me."
One Nation Under God.

Hi, jaycee, you’re not the only one who cries at Hallmark Card commercials. The picture I used was in a group of pictures that Diver forwarded to me via email. There are so many sweet ones, but the final picture is one that literally will break your heart. The soldier is carrying a child who is covered in blood, apparently from a car bomb blast. I cannot repost it. :(

Marines return from overseas CAMP LEJEUNE | More than 2,000 Marines are returning to Camp Lejeune from a six-month deployment aboard ships to the Horn of Africa and Middle East.
The first wave of Marines arrived Saturday from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, a self-contained group of combat troops, supply experts and aviators.
The last of the troops will arrive today.
The Marines stopped in Djibouti, Qatar, Jordan and Kenya. In Kenya, Marines helped build a school and ran a two-day medical clinic to immunize local residents and treat those suffering from dysentery and malaria.
Marines also helped train armed forces in the countries they visited, said unit spokesman Capt. Will Klump. On its way home, the 26th stopped in Spain and Marines helped restore a monastery.

That may have been posted and I saw it....it was gut-wrenching for the soldier carrying the child. They can never get over that feeling. If it touches us, imagine what it does to him.
Bless you, Billie!
