KathyM: I've been praying for ALL of our men and women every day since March 19, 2003. I've also been mourning the almost 4000 U.S. souls lost to this war, along with all the innocent victims.

This thread makes me terribly sad. I would like the war to end. I'd like all those young men and women to come home safely. I'd like the people in Iraq and Afghanistan to not have to fear for their lives and their loved ones. I'd like no more children to die, I'd like no more parents to grieve. I'd like us to learn from our mistakes.

I want the war to end and I'm not going to get my wish. But I can still pray in my own way for peace.
