OFM-

I think we miss the mark in recognizing what our men and women face each day in the Militaryand especially in dangerous zones.

God Bess you all ..

[CoolWaters]

Thank you for sharing that here.

My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

John 17:15, 20, 21 NIV

Keeping you and all involved, both here and there, and all families, both 'theirs' and 'ours', in my heart's prayers.

That was incredibly moving, John. Thanks.

[krys]

I was moved also. Thanks for that link.

BTW - - - when do you get to come home?

[doojable]

Very moving, very humbling. We pray for you and all those over there.

Now I have a question - what was that soldier doing to that donkey? It looked like he was fueling it up - like a car.

But that can't be....

[topoftheworld]

Thank you, Medic-to you and all your band of brothers.

[ChasUFarley]

wow...

speechless...

I have a brother-in-law over there now - he's 45 with 2 young boys at home.

I can't fathom what it must be like...

John,

We haven't met but I have read some of your posts. I admire and thank you for your courage. And for taking time out of your life to do something that hasn't the best of conditions to be in.

I have 4 nephews serving. The youngest is in Germany going into Iraq shortly. Two others served two years each there and the 4th works on airplanes for the Air Force.

I was more comforted or secure with both the other boys tours than I am with this youngest one going in.

I pray for you all, and for your safe return to our soil.

Kathy

Oilfield,

If you go to http://www.gcsdistributing.com you can find half a dozen good tributes - that is the author's home site of the one you posted. You might especiially appreciate "One More" and "We Support you."

BTW - if you are looking at satellite imagery you are getting it from our company or 5th Fleet at NCMOC in Bahrain which is still our gear.

ONE MORE

Smokey -- God bless, and thanks. :)

Thanks also to you RumRunner -- wonderful site.

[dmiller]

WE SUPPORT YOU

[act2]

Thanks for all three of these videos. I could not hardly keep from crying.

Thank God for the men and women of our military.

I salute you.

[watersedge]

always poised and ready

arms to the right

and ready to fight

a far cry from ages gone by

when fears

carried the night

tribute belongs to those

who stood

never in waver

not in swager

tribute goes to them

who stood firm in heart

under an enemy's fire

flinching in inflicted pain

yet not yielding

holding ground gained

in battles fought fierce

when no one heard the scream of pain

salute those who have made supreme sacrifice

whether it be on a field of battle

or a battlefield of life

flinch yet one more time

that shall be the last

for the general comes

and he will right all the wrongs

freedom reigns

now and forever
