thank you just doesn't seem enough...

but it's all I have to give back...

remembering my father in law...

Harold...

who spent a year in hospitals on his way home in WWII...

who watched friends die over there...

who never forgot...

who called me every Veteran's Day and cried for the ones who didn't make it through...

he never forgot...

never...

always wondering why he was chosen to come home and others weren't...

you know , their tour is never finished...

not until the day they die...

they carry the war within them all that time...

that's a lot to ask of anyone...

one way to honor those that have been there and the ones still there...

is to respect what they have fought for and are still fighting for...

and be an example when the flag passes by...

the anthem is sung...

the pledge is said...

and remember them in your prayers daily...

put them first on your list...

first in your hearts...

that's where they have put you...

need some prayer warriors...

my aunt Mary collapsed yesterday while shopping with her daughter...

they called the ambulance and got her to the er...

she has to have surgery tomorrow to put in a pacemaker...

she has many complications that could make the surgery and recovery risky...

your prayers are so appreciated...

if God calls her home, she is ready...

but we would like to keep her just a bit longer...

Soldiers from 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division have been “remissioned” and will move from Iraq to Kuwait for the remainder of their 12-month tour, the brigade commander announced Wednesday.




This is my cousin's son's unit.  They are not coming home.  Obama just wants everyone out of Iraq, but he didn't say they would be coming state side.  He is sending them into Kuwait.  Eric could move anytime.  He will not have access to the internet there.  More combat and a lot  more danger for our guys.  

quote for the day

Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak...

Sometimes it means  you are strong enough to let it go.
