I never dreamed our family would be a military family with 3 marines - 2 nephews and that same 4 lb 4 oz boy, now a few days away from being promoted to Corporal somewhere in Iraq. Blessings to you my special friend - bravery and courage to match theirs - is what I aspire as well! God bless.

I often wonder if my children will want to serve, and how I would react. I have to tell you, there is nothing more satisfying...other than our relationship with Christ... than serving and protecting the country that God has blessed us to live in. The best thing to do is, give it all to God who has promised to work all things out for good... support whatever decision your son makes... and know that there are plenty of us moms, wives, children out here that will come along side and support you.

That certainly wasn't what I expected when I decided to surf your site! But I can understand fully your fear....and your desire to hang on to that child even when and as he becomes a man! I never worry about anything, generally, but the 15 months my brother spent in Iraq were filled with a nagging hurt and concern in my heart and my mind! As I talk to him now, though, he glows with pride at serving our country and the people he loves in that capacity...and he'd do it all over again! I stand in awe of every service man and woman who put their lives in jeopardy so I can enjoy the freedoms of this wonderful nation! And if God leads our children to be those warriors, we must stand beside them supporting them in every way. IF that time comes, my dear friend, I know God will give you the wisdom and courage to be Chris' support and strength.

I have also prayed that prayer and tried to give my twins (and Kendall) over to God's will and his plan. Those days in the hospital, although long ago, are still fresh in my mind. Your counsel is of acquired wisdom and I love you so for that. You are my rock. The Lord continues to mold and use us daily. You are braver than I can imagine.
