Thanks for the reminder

Mona Marie 07-22-2011 06:18 AM

How true. Prayers to our troops.

Glenda m 07-22-2011 06:51 AM

Have a friend that came back. So glad he was safe. He doesn't talk about 'over there' when any of the 'ladies' are around. DH husband has told me some of the stories Friend has told the guys. How they do that job I don't know, but prayers and love go out to each and all.

I don't know how they manage over there. And yes, I am a big complainer about this horrible nation-wide heat. Once again thank you to our men and women and to you for putting it in prospective.

Well said. My son just completed his two week active duty and this has been unbelievably hot. They camped with 20 men in a tent with no A/C. He said he lost 8 lbs. He now knows a bit of how it feels to be deployed. Thanks to our our servicemen and women.
