THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO A FEW

[Surfergirl]

I know you all pray for the troops over seas, please keep it up. We lost 2 kids on our convoy last week, both younger than my son. We stopped at a police station in down town Kirkuk and a dumptruck VBIED (Vehicle Born IED) went off next to our convoy. The coward that drove it up killed 2 of my guys, wounded 2 others, killed 14 Iraqi Police and wounded 180 civilians.
These kids are busting their asses and are really making a difference in my area. I havent run into one of our guys yet that has said they didnt agree with what we're doing here.
Everyone be safe out on the big blue, thank god everyday you're in the U.S. of A.

I'm sorry SeaPro for the loss, I pray for all the service men and women everyday. I have been introduced to some men and women in the military. They are some of the nicest people I have ever met and I am proud to call them my friends. What you all are doing is a great thing, I just pray that it will end soon and they all can come home.

Update on my son:
It is amaizing what prayers can do. Right after I posted this he started feeling better! His doctor appointment was cancelled and now he is back to his normal rambunctious self. Thanks for the prayers.

War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting the ultimate practitioner.
Nice quote.
Your boys will win what ever the out come, because they are there!
Just remember to teach, breathe and squeeze! Not pant and pull!
Regards To all over there may all the gods smile on you.
PS
Watch the camber of the roads, to the banks on the sides, they re- build them wrong way your armour becomes flat! Think!

Flat, the quote was painted over the door of my team room when I was on active duty. Our unit motto was "We do bad things to bad people" Not exactly politically correct in this day and age, but we didnt care. I've been in this line of work for going on 25 years now. This is my last gig, well maybe it's my last. This time next year I'll be a door greeter at Wal Mart or I'll be next to WAHOONBOX at the Taco King slinging burritos and Chalupas

seapro, here is my favorite from USN Seabees in Vietnam:

"we have done so much for so long with so little that now we are qualified to everything with nothing forever!"

BUT

I hope everyone that believes in any religion on this site, please pray for the victums of the recent devestation that took place in VA.
