My brother is being sent back to Iraq. He is affilitated with a high risk deployment. Please pray for him. I cannot begin to describe the anguish. He survived the first time, although many of his friends didn't. Please pray for Nicholas.

Brother Going Back To Iraq Thank you, Inny and Pat. Your response was very soothing. It sounds like you both know what my family is going through. As do many others.

Let us pray for an end to this war.

Prayers for your brother and you and all the other posters and their loved ones in Iraq. I really hope we will be seeing an end to the war soon. Too few have been asked to bear too much.

((((((((((( Friends ))))))))))))))

I pray for all of you and your family members who are in the war. Someone near and dear to me in my family is half way through his third deployment in Iraq. He goes where even the journalists dare not follow.

I dread answering the phone when a strange number pops up on the caller ID.

God brought him through safely the last two times, I have faith the He can do it again, if it's in His will.

So, if you don't mind, add my relative to your lists also.

Hugs,

Jan

My son sent an email last night...and tried to call but I didn't pick up for some reason... He is very very busy with this increased incentive, esp in Baghdad. It does seem to be having a good effect though. Where usually there are plenty of bombings and such and several (50 or more) ppl killed (Iraqi citizens) each day, they only had 22 in the last week I think, that died. But I sure hope they can settle something sooner than later. I fear and I shouldn't... but it seems things always happen the last week or day before someone ships to debriefing... which is coming up for my son.

I pray for all our soldiers. I ask God to protect them, and those they love and those THEY love. Brother Going Back To Iraq

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
