I have not been on Free Republic in awhile can someone ping for me. I have been busy, for I have adopted a new daughter. Our adoption was final last week. She is 15 and has been with me for about 1 1/2 years. I had forgotten the energy it takes to have a teenager in the house again!!. She is truely a blessing from God.

Thank you for this thread GrandmaC.

To GrandmaC’s nephew and the soldiers with him,

Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you as you go about your job each day.

Please accept my deepest thanks and respect for the mission you are accomplishing and the lives you are protecting here and in Iraq.

My husband is in the Army and has been to Iraq once already and may be called again soon for another tour. So know that I understand the pain of separation and the joy of reunion. In this light, my prayers and thoughts are with your families also.

I can’t imaging what you go through each day or how you must feel being there. I will pray for each of you especially after the recent loss. My prayers are with those families also.

May God bless and keep you safe so you may return home quickly to the people who miss you most.

To paraphrase the speech by Churchill in his honoring the Royal Air Force, never have so few done so much for so many. Our country is blessed to have the types of men and women who will give their all so that we all live free. Free is a four letter word that means millions of people can awaken each morning without the fear of being shot, robbed, jailed, or anything else for expressing their thoughts, but it also means honoring those amongst ourselves who are willing to sacrifice their lives so we can a good and decent life. So yes, on this day of Independence, I thank you for your sacrifice, and I appreciate your humanity and your humility. May the Good Lord take a liking to you and may He keep you safe. Thank You!

Grandma,

I also have a friend in Afghanistan who leads these young men, and he has lost some guys recently. A friend and I send him care packages to share with the other soldiers.

Your nephew, and all these heros in Iraq and Afghanistan, have my prayers and gratitude.

I want all of our heros to know that, although the news media here in the U.S. seems to emphasize the bad news and anti war sentiment here, the majority of Americans here on the homefront appreciate and support you, and your mission. We pray for you all daily.

Because of your sacrifices many people can enjoy freedom, and we will NEVER forget you. Thank you all so much.

We pray for you all daily here in Killeen Texas.
You are continually in our thoughts and hearts,
and we encourage each other as we thank God for you all.
May the Lord guard your hearts and minds,
and strengthen and protect you with his angels,
as you serve Him and us, with your courage and love.

"Though you have not seen him, you love him;
and even though you do not see him now,
you believe in him and are filled
with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
for you are receiving the goal of your faith,
the salvation of your souls." 1Peter 1:8

It is totally appropriate to acknowledge our servicemen and women on the July 4Th weekend; the declaration from tranny never ends. Thank you for this thread GrandmaC and opportunity. God Bless you and your nephew and his mates. We are grateful.

“We have all suffered a great loss. But the families and loved ones of those who died bear the greatest burden of grief, and they are foremost in our thoughts. Our Servicemen and women achieve remarkable things under the most arduous and dangerous conditions – sometimes, alas, at personal sacrifice. Their bravery is well known and rightly admired. But we must never forget what their loved ones have to endure: the worry and uncertainty they must live with while continuing to run homes and families and – as in this case – the terrible loss. Theirs is a courage of the most profound kind.”

“This country owes not just the honored dead but also those whom they have left behind an enormous debt of gratitude.”

Dearest Defender ~

Without you, we are nothing ...
Without you, others are nothing ...
Because of you, we are everything.

This is both a thank-you to you, dear one, and an acknowledgment of Him.

Not a day goes by that we don’t think of and pray for our men and women in uniform. Words cannot express our gratitude for your service to our country and the cause of freedom everywhere. The sacrifices are great; we will never forget them or take them for granted. The accomplish also is great. History will prove that the work you do each and every day by doing your duty changed the world for the better, no less than when our fathers and grandfathers liberated Europe. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and please know we remember well those who have been lost.

Thank you for your service seems like such small, tiny little words to show the overwhelming gratitude I feel to each and every one of you. You are my Hero’s. You are the best face of America. God Bless you! And Thank You For All That You Do!

We send you prayers and a hearty THANK YOU for everything that you do. Without your service to our country, my family would not be able to rest comfortably.

May God watch over you and protect you. Give you strength in a time of need.

God Blessings be upon you!

First of all,thank you. I do believe for those of you who are over there,you are doing good works. Just yesterday I read an article in the Wall Street Journal about Iraq’s who were being interviewed and how grateful they were and couldn’t think of a way to ever show their appreciation to the U.S. But they were also afraid that the U.S. would leave too soon. Please know many people are praying for all of you. God bless you all. Nora

To the nephew of GrandmaC, and to all the brave warriors in your unit:

Tomorrow is our great nation's Independence Day. Once again our citizens can exercise their freedom and liberty in celebrating this wonderful occasion as a result of two immutable factors:

1) The grace and mercy of our Creator and Almighty GOD as shown through His only begotten son and our Savior, Jesus Christ.

2) The bravery, dedication, and committment of our beloved soldiers who place themselves in harm's way to protect our nation so that we do not have to live in fear.

Nothing we can say can ever adequately express our gratitude to each of you for your service. Never doubt our love and appreciation of you. Never doubt that we pray earnestly, daily for your safety. Always remember that when you return home from your mission, family and friends will be waiting for you with open arms to thank you for your sacrifice. May GOD ALMIGHTY protect you from harm, comfort you in times of trouble, and return you home safely. - OB1

Good heavens yes -

Gentlemen:

You are foremost in our thoughts at home on Independence Day. We are grateful to have you laying your lives on the line to protect something unspeakably precious. Those who take it for granted will only know how precious if they lose it. The people around you will only know how precious if, God willing, they obtain it with your help. The rest of us who do know offer you our heart-felt thanks and our prayers for your safe return. May God bless and keep each and every one of you.
