Sitting here in a Combat Support Hospital in Afghanistan
My son will be over there soon and I feel better about that knowing you are there.
Thank you for your service and your sacrifices for our freedom! Know that you have a dedicated group of supporters back here praying for you and ready to provide logistical help to you, your family and our troops. Freepmail me; we’ve got a group here in NJ that sends care packages. May God bless you mightily and keep you in His care.
I am here on duty in a Combat Support Hospital in Afghanistan. The bad guys have let up they are more active at night... Despite what people in the media and other places say this war was necessary and purposeful. My job here is to take care of the treasure of this nation that have been wounded in battle. Believe me we provide outstanding care on par if not better than any trauma center back home. I have a personal stake in this because they are my brother's and sisters in arms. This place is ugly, stark, filthy and has no redeeming quality but we are here because we all swore an oath to the consitution. That great piece of paper that was ratified in 1787 is why I am here. I gave my word to the people of the United States that I would protect them and keep them safe from all enemies foreign and domestic. I will if I have to give my life for that oath.... We have your back America I just want you to know that... I want to personally thank all the FReepers here, I saw you all when I was working at Walter Reed and came out and met some of you. I have seen you at the airports welcoming us back home and giving of yourselves to the nation. I had Freepers at my wedding as well... Most of all I want to get back home to my wife and daughters. I want to thank them for their sacrifice as well. Family members of the military bear an incredible burden and my wife is exceptional. I salute her and all military families.
Please keep my FRiend - and American Hero - "Warrior Nurse" in your prayers. He is serving courageously in Afghanistan right now. Please read his full post at the top of this thread.

May God continue to bless you and your lovely family, Warrior Nurse! And THANK YOU for your service to our great country over the years. We also thank your wife and daughters for their sacrifice... I pray you return to them SOON, safe and sound, FRiend.
The current occupant of our White House and the thieves in Congress aren’t worthy of licking these patriots boots, IMO.
God Bless Our Troops and may God watch over those who now walk with him including my beloved husband who served as a fighter pilot in Nam.
Thank you, sir. May God be with you.
Thank you, sir. May God be with you.
I totally agree. Let's hope we can get all or most of these thieves out of office next year. DEFINITELY the Thief In Chief! If not, America as we know it will be over.
God Bless Our Troops and may God watch over those who now walk with him including my beloved husband who served as a fighter pilot in Nam.
Amen. I'm still praying for you, FRiend... {{Hugs}}

Hi WN,
As always, thank you so much for your service and sacrifice. You and your family are in my prayers and have been since I first met you.
May you reach home, having done the honorable job you have always done of keeping my family, friends and country safe.
You are an inspiration, a joy, and should anyone want a role model to look up to, you are a living, breathing, everyday hero, doing wonderful things, under the greatest of pressure showing the rest of us, how it should be done.
Be safe, be well, and I hope to hear that you are home soon, in the arms of your family.
