Tacoma is okay if you like cities, it is maybe 15 or so miles from Seattle, and in the other direction is about 25 miles from Olympia (I prefer Olympia to the bigger cities). Lots of outlying towns/cities, major traffic, used to be a big gang area, and was known as the meth capital of the state, don't know about now, hopefully it has been cleaned up. I would look into one of the smaller towns on the outskirts to live in, just my choice. Fort Lewis Army Base if is there and McChord Air Force too. Good luck.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER FOR OUR SOLDIERS



Today we gather around the dinner table with family and friends to share good food, warm laughter, and the happy memories of Thanksgivings past. But for many families, whose loved ones serve in the Armed Forces, this year's Thanksgiving celebration will not be complete.

A familiar voice will not be heard and a chair at the table will remain empty because, they have someone far from home serving our country.

Amen

Thank you so much, Vanessa, for your continued prayers. We have found out that my son is to be stationed in the state of Washington and that he will be going overseas by the beginning of summer. We are trying to get ourselves ready for the move. Please pray that the transition is smooth.


Today also, members of the Army, Marines, Navy, Airforce and Coastguard (men and women, Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard alike) will gather in mess halls or in tents across the globe as friends and comrades to enjoy the traditional Thanksgiving meal.


So, as those of us who are blessed to be with our families celebrate and give thanks,

let us remember in our prayers the homes that have an empty chair at the table and also offer a special prayer of thanksgiving and ask God’s Blessings for the brave men and women of our Armed Forces,
whose service and sacrifice will, we further pray, make the world a better and safer place.


And a very special prayer dear God, for those homes that have an empty chair that will forever remain vacant and for those servicemen and women who have come back to us,
may their sacrifice not have been in vain.



THANKSGIVING PRAYER

Oh God, when I have food, help me remember the hungry. When I have a home, help me remember the homeless. When I am with friends and family who love me, help me remember those who are friendless and shunned. And remembering, help me destroy my complacency, move my heart and reach out by word and deed to those who cry out for what we take for granted.

!!!!!!! Bring Our Troops Home Now !!!!!!!

You have to be condescending because I didn't recognize "dl".

light and prayers said for your loved ones.

My thoughts and prayers to all of you serving and family that have someone serving or have served..Come from a military family myself...as I travel alot , I have adopted the habit of thanking military people when I see them, whereever they are.. Some get tears in their eyes when I do and then I get tears...they don't hear this enough.. just do it and let them know they are appreciated

and mine as well....... I live very near one of the largest Army bases in the nation. Ft. Drum, NY..... I have many friends who are army personell....or the spouse of an Army soldier. Just had dinner with one of my great friends whose husband came home two wks ago....as well as her son.

The military amounts to a killing machine consisting of base monkey emotions. Can't give you kudos on those that consciously decide to go kill, not defend. Propoganda is paramount for the military establishment. Don't believe the hype. That's only for the naive and stupid.





Spoken like a brave person, That sits at home on their scared ass and lets someone else earn their freedom!! Every freedom including your freedom to post this, is owed to a solider that bleed for this or another country!!!! So when you decide to write this ignorance remember someone bleed for your words!!!
