Dear Lord, I pray for Suzanne that you will bring her a sense of peace in knowing that You are watching over her son and that You will bring him safely back home into her waiting, open arms. Amen

Warrior ![]() ![]() ![]() I never wore the uniform, no medals on my chest. The band it doesn�t play for me, I am not among �the Best.� I do not march in cadence, I do not rate salute, I stand among the silent ranks, our devotion absolute. If you�ve not worn my shoes, you do not know my story. I live a life of sacrifice, my reward a private glory. I�ve wept many silent nights away, and I�ve kept the home fires burning. I�ve worried and I�ve waited, as world events were churning. I�ve moved more times than you could fathom, left more people than you�ve known. I�ve planted gardens �round the world -- Very few that I�ve seen grown. I�ve grieved with new-made widows, and had my share of scares -- when a ship or plane or man was down, and all I had were prayers. I�m not asking for your sympathy, (although appreciation can be nice) I did it quite on purpose though -- I chose to sacrifice. I�ll tell you a secret now, one you�d never guess. About the one glory that is mine, it�s just enough � no more, no less. When you and I stand together as our national anthem plays, I�ll fill with reminiscences of how I spent those days. I�ll know the pain and joys again, I�ll know that freedom isn�t free, I�ll know I�ve helped to pay the price � and that the anthem plays for me. Elizabeth Soutter Schwarzer Wife of a United States Marine Good morning Nessa, that was beautiful!! Thank you for posting. Lord be with our many soldiers today as they go about their many different jobs. Amen |

I made a post of this but it seemed to have gotten ignored. But thought I would share it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUipXOMKTUs ![]() ![]() I never saw your post, Honey, ![]() other wise i would have stopped by for sure... ![]() i have so much going on ![]() i am not online that much these days ![]() but thank you soo much ..i did watch it ... ![]() and i am so thankful that you care ![]() & have a heart for our troops ![]() and i wish that more people did ![]() Thank you for watching hun. I have been writing three soldiers now for almost a year. I do not know them, and may never meet them, but at least they know that there is people out there that do care. whisper, I wish more people were like you. It is so hard for these men and women to be away from their families. They really enjoy receiving mail of any kind when they are overseas, whether they know the person or not. When my son is overseas and I send him mail, I send another card for him to give to a soldier who has no one. Or if I send him a package I make sure I send doubles of everything so he can share. |

Journey, God bless you and your boys. May he keep them safe within his grasp, and may he give you strength when you hear bad news on the tv. May you already be assured that they are safe when you hear that bad news. ![]() From one that served to one whose boys?? (just doesn't sound right) adult male children are serving. Sully US Army 82-85 and 86-92 Hi Sully...thank you so much! And thank you also for your service! ![]() ![]() |

Sneaks in to hug Rapunzel. Wonders if I do have what it takes to be an Army significant other when the Soldier is deployed. Sigh. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
