Sorting Through my feelings and Reflecting on the Past

[deanglen]

Nash, I too, have stopped MSM news exposure and don't miss it one bit. Instead, reading Psalms 27 and 46 and the like would, I'm confident, be better for anyone who faces the struggles that you share here.

Thinking of you....

Nash-- I am the wife of a vet. I never had to send mine away as his committment was ending as ours was beginning. We talk so much these days about the sacrifices of our friends still in service and (perhaps selfishly) are glad that he will now never be called upon to do so. I don't know that I would have had your strength...but can offer you my thoughts, good wishes, and blessings in hopes that my own inferior strength may augment yours.

[John in Covina]

Prayers for you and him.

Prayers for protection for both you and your husband and all that go in harms way for us.

Prayers for our enemies that they may be enlightened and seek peace instead of bloodshed.

Prayers for our nation that we may come to peace.

Prayers for friends and relatives that we may hold them love them again before we go.

Blessings!

Thank you honey doll and thank you again to all those who have offered prayers and well wishes both publicly and privately. I am overwhelmed with love and support and that calms and strengthens me. It reinforces in my mind that our media is very off base in the way that they supposedly support the men and women in harm's way. It also inspires me to continue with my letter writing to the major networks complaining about the way that they blatently display their bias in reporting only the negative. It undermines the morale of the troops and gives aid and comfort to those who would hurt them.
I don't think that it should all be positive everything is wonderful when it isn't but it should be more balanced. Both my husband and my cousin, also a marine, have wondered where are the stories on the schools they've reopened, the hospitals they've secured, the water mains they've fixed. It should be more balanced

 

[Gray Ghost]

My prayers are with the both of you.

My prayers are with the both of you and please send him my thanks for what he does. I am real proud of him and all that serve this country. That also goes for you too.

May the Lord Bless and keep you both,
Eric "Gray Ghost" Russ

What can I say that has not already been so eloquently posted here?

Thanks to your family for your service, and your sacrifice. I am proud of all those who serve, and who have served, their country. My thoughts and prayers are with both of you, and with all those involved in similar situations.

Nashoba,
I am sorry that I am a little late in remarking on this thread.
I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts, prayers, and good wishes are with you and your husband. Both of you have a courage that is so noble and appreciated, and will not soon be forgotten.
I thank you both for stepping up and protecting our entire nation.
Your words, thoughts, and feelings and courage won't soon leave me.
I am so grateful for all of those who serve to make our world a better, safer world.
Always remember that you have a community here that is full of support whenever you need it.
Please keep us up to date as to how your husband and you are doing.
Your noble service is more than appreciated. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make this difficult time a bit more bearable.
Take Care and G-d Bless
Daisy
