Bless all those that serve everywhere.

My son Jay "Sgt Wagner" is in Iraq as we type. I talk to him a lot via skype. He tells me we are not as calm as we all would like to think. He worried me when he told me there has been an incident almost daily. Lives have been lost in his unit recently and bombs still being set off. Roadside things happen a lot.
And...there is a roadside bomb they have that our armour can't handle. It is heat activated. Pray our fellas can come up with a solution to protect themselves.

We still need to keep prayers and thoughts for them. It isn't as good as I wanted to hear.

THANK YOU ALL WHO PUT YOUR LIVES IN DANGER DAILY.Come home soon, safe.

I would also like to say to all those that serve, have served, and will serve..."thank you" thank you for your bravery and willingness to be there when it counts. My heart and the hearts of millions are with you in your fine journey of courage and discipline.

Bry pauses for a minute of silence.



Bry

I bumped this up. It needs to stay at the top for us to keep in mind that it still exists.

Hi there Dear Sister Lady Kat

I can think of no other topic that is more important for a thread


than to have ongoing prayers & blessings sent for our Brave Military !


My heart & prayers are with you & your Son and all our Troops that are in harm's way


Unless we hear about it firsthand, we have little idea of the horrors they have to endure


and even then , it is nothing like being there and going through that living hell :


this is for all the Mothers of Sons and Daughters in the Military









and for Parents & Spouses of Military Personnel

Hi there My Sweet Sister Wanda

((vanessa)) as you are too

thank you so much my dear Sister you mean so very much to me too

Lady Nessa...you are one of the best friends any of us could have!! Thank you for all that you do for us and our soldiers!!

Hi Kat...My youngest is overseas right now. He has told me time and time again...if you want to know the truth about what is going on don't listen to the media ask someone that is there, or has been. He has been over there for four months so far and has sent 15 bodies home. The last one was on Father's Day. The man's wife was on the plane with him. He said it never gets easier. I hate that this is his job, but at least I know these men and women are being handled with the care and respect that they deserve, because my son would have it NO other way. If you ever want to talk with another "military mom" please feel free to contact me. And please tell you son "thank you" for me and God Bless you both!! Journey

you are always in my heart


my very special Friend ...


as are our Troops day and night


love & light across the many miles

Oh my Dear Sister Brenda


You are a precious angel flying so close to the ground


with both of your Sons & your Daughter in Law in harm's way


and you never get bitter and you never get mad





If it were not for the awesome people like you


whom i have had the Great Honor & Privilege of getting to know


and for hearing & reading the stories


of all those who have gone before us


my Family members & loved ones giving their all


for something much bigger than themselves


I may not have had inspiration enough


to step up to the plate


in love & gratitude like i do

Why is it that my eyes tear up every time I visit one of your threads like this one, Nessa? My nose is starting to run, and it's really hard to type through the drops falling onto my glasses as I look down onto my keyboard.


I want to send out props to a longtime rl buddy of mine. He's the Father of a member here, manofmysteries, who himself, is like a Brother to me. Dave was 27, a college graduate, married, with one child on the way ( manofmysteries) when he ENLISTED to go to Viet Nam.

He went through the same training as the 18 and 19 year olds went through, and although he did not excel at anything, he graduated, and earned the Priviledge to serve America.

He served in an artillery unit as a Gunner once he went over there. He is one of the kindest, most intelligent, and patriotic people it has ever been this former GIs Honor to know.

Dave B. of Tinley Park, Illinois. Member of VFW Post #2791(as I am also). It has been an Honor knowing you, and with the Lord's blessings, I will know you for a long time to come.

I love you as a Father figure, a Brother in Arms, a Friend without ANY reservations.

Awwww Honey I had a feeling you would show up sooner than later

You are such a precious man with an incredibly tender heart

under that incredibly tall buffed rough & tough exterior


Can you tell I am rather partial? well, you deserve it big time

for All you are and for All you do & have done for Your Country & Family

for your awesome Veteran Brothers & for all your extended Family here

Honor A Hero


Hero's give all
With a tender heart
They seek to save many
By doing their part

When a hero is born
God had them in mind
He designed them for a purpose
Special, gentle and kind

Their heart is a treasure
With precious jewels inside
Gifts, talents and skills
Their arms are open wide

They sacrifice all
To save many lives
They will change their course
So they can save five

This world would not be the same
If there were no Heroes today
How could have we survived
If they hadn't lead the way

May we never forget their faithfulness
And all they have done
Let us always Honor them with love
For a job well done

Vessels of honor
Heaven's Great Treasure
The Handiwork of God
No man can measure

I believe that there are special angels assigned
To guard and protect every Hero in time
Like on eagle's wings, He brings them home
Great Award await them in Heaven
Sweet as a honeycomb

we need to remember our Veterans

every day Not Just on Veterans Day

Thank you Journey. I will keep that in mind. Mine is also my youngest and last, I hope to go.
He began telling me the truths of the still war in Iraq...I guess after he decided I could handle it. I am wuus about my kids and harms way.

I am a viewer of George Stephanopolas?? on Sunday morning..on OETA (public television) where every week they say and show the names, ranks and the country in which they died and where they are from. Every single week there are names there. We do not hear about it as we should. The injured are many...but we also do not hear about them.

Yes, I live in fear but have begun to breathe a little easier. He has til December to come home. I miss him so.

I just sent him two boxes of goodies and things he may need or just some trivial things. Momma things, you know? lol

I salute all mothers and of course the family members of all our military, but mostly the mothers...our hearts are in another country, where we can not save them or take it away.

Bless your son...and his mother...
Kat
