so after many shed tears by the whole family i dropped my husband off at the airport today for his long journey overseas....its def a sad day and the kids are already starting the countdown till he comes home...200 days to go.

thanks to him for his service and to your family for the sacrifice of getting along without him.

Thank you both for his service to our county!

Pray for safe stay and a really big homecoming in 200 days.
My God Bless you and your family.

Can't thank your husband and your family enough for your sacrifice. God bless you all.

God bless you all! DH is a vet.

May God provide a hedge of protection around your entire family. Thank you both.

Thank you for sharing this difficult time. Your and your husbands service is greatly appreciated. It's because of people like him, that puts meaning in freedom.


(Maybe you could start a "countdown" thread so that 'us quilters' can help with some moral support and prayers.)

All of you are so brave.
Know that we pray nightly for those in harm's way.

Thanks to your family for what you are doing for all of us. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
