That is so sad hun . I understand the anger though as its alot of young men that had so much to live for that are gone . God only knows when it will end . So to all the families and friends of people over there God Bless them and keep them safe .

Sorry Velvet there are women also!

My ex went over there just right after all of that stuff happened and now last i heard he's back home but with 2 less legs :unsure:

[Hambone]

xoxmelxox, sorry to hear that I hope he is doing fine

[xoxmelxox]

It's okay. I haven't talked to him since the week before he left, that's when he dumped me lol. He said it would be better cuz he didnt know how long he'd be over there and he didnt expect me to wait. I even said i would but he said no.... but anyway he was stationed here in Oklahoma before he left now he's back home in Kentucky so i have no idea how to get ahold of him. His roommate that i used to talk to and chck on him with has now gone over there so i dont know... :unsure:

[halfasleep]

That's still really sad to hear, xoxmelxox....



...if anyone saw the program "60 Minutes" last night, they took over 11 minutes just to show the faces of the over 800 who died over there... you couldn't help but be affected, especially the several photos of fathers kissing their children.



... especially in light that my oldest daughter ships out tomorrow for Iraq. She is in the Air Force.

Half I hope and pray she will be safe and come back home quickly!

Now that I am bumed and I sure that I've managed to drag everyone with me, let's try to lighten this up a little.... all jokes aside, I, for one, am indeed proud of them!!!

Thank you, Ham.



My daughter ships out Friday and is in Iraq for the next 90 days. She called last night to tell us, as she turns off her utilities and clears out her apartment. Please keep her in prayer all.


Thanks.

I hope she's safe, Half. My anger is placed on the guys in suits that decide where they go.

Half, I hope your daughter comes home safe.

xoxmelxox, sorry to hear about your ex. I hope he manages to come to terms with his situation and not let it bog him down.

As a recent citizen of these here United States, I too am proud and humbled by these men and women who are willing to go over there and lay their life on the line. Right or wrong of it aside, these are some courageous and impressive people.
