JuneInMA's Blog

Thanks for posting this June. I've gotten this email before and I can never get through the whole thing dry eyed. It's so important to keep these men and women in our prayers. I know I do everyday. Funny how the small inconveniences of life seem as trivial as they really are when you witness what these people go through. God bless every one of them and keep them from harm.

Hi June, Thanks again for another insightful blog. These men and women in this strange country is in itself a inconvenience. I hope with all my heart a new administration will get these men and women home to their families.

Happyg, I'm happy for you and your son, that you feel that way. I wish you and him the best. Iraq was a stabilized nation before we stuck our two cents in somewhere we didn't and still don't belong. We were lied to. Trillions of waisted dollars. This is not coming from a armchair General. I served my country and was proud to do so. My contempt is not for the soldiers fighting this war, it is for the war criminals that lead and keeps us there. God bless you and your son and all the brave men and women who serve at home and in foriegn countries.....

HappyG,
Is your son Army or National Guard? If the Guard, which unit?

I was at a Tim Mcgraw concert at the Garden a couple years ago and was blown away and actually brought a couple tears to my eyes. He played his "Cowboy in me" song and had pictures of the brave service men flashing on the jumbo screen above the stage. It was very moving when the pictures of the goodbye's we're shown and the soldiers had to leave their families behind. The ones that had new borns or toddlers really hit hard.

The one picture that got me was a big soldier holding a little girl face to face with the little girls face so full of love and the soldiers full of fear. Thats where the tears hit. When the song ended I was blown away once more at the level of crowd noise in appreciation. It was awesome.

The pictures you posted reinforce the level of commitment and sacrifice these brave soldiers are making.

God Bless Every One, Watch Over Them and Bring Them Home Safe.
