A young friend, D, of our family and his group left at 4 pm today (our time) on foot to go into Baghdad. Vehicles or tanks will not be be taken. Their mission will last 2 or 3 days and the purpose is to go door to door and capture snipers in the city. The commanders have told the soldiers what a dangerous mission this is and it is very likely that most will not come back to their base.

His wife,C,is terrified and called on everyone in our church to pray. She said the soldiers are also fearful. They were all told to call their families before they leave.

I'm asking each of you to hold these men and women in your hearts for the next several days.

I pray God will keep them safe from harm and that they will all return to their loved ones...

All those soldiers who so bravely put thier lives on the line are in my heart.. in my prayers always....Faith

i also posted this in General but my thinking is that some people may only come to the Spiritual forum and they need all of the help they can get right now........xoxoxo pat

I trust that the chaplain helped put them at ease. It sounds like their first deployment. Everyone does the "fill in this form in case of.." and "call your mom and your spouse" stuff. It will become routine, though it is thought provoking.
