A quick update on our middle son Jeff. His R&R was way too short. He arrived back in Mosul day before yesterday, but the good thing is that he only has about 3 months left, hopefully he will be home by the first part of March. So once again Mrs ladtx and I will be on "worry alert" until he gets back on Texas soil again. A military family is always on the go it seems. Mrs ladtx just returned from helping our oldest and his family move from Elsworth AFB, SD to Pensacola NAS, FL. She did 9 states in 4 days and 4 of them twice. I joined the convoy when it passed through the DFW Metroplex and made the trip to Pensacola with them. What a trip, 2 kids, one two years old and the other 6 weeks, plus two animals, a real traveling zoo. But, it was worth it to see Leila and Ashley together.

What a beautiful pledge graphic *and* welcome graphic (((((Aqua))))) - thank you for bringing us a most important thread.

Dear Father, we beg You to place Your bloodline of protection around our military members. Please protect them the way that they protect us with their selfless acts. The latest heinous murders that have been perpetrated upon our troops are cowardly and sinful. Please, we ask You that no more of our wonderful troops are subject to that kind of awful act.

We ask You, too, that You help us all to understand that we must show our thanks to all Military members, past and present for all that they have done to ensure our freedom.

I especially pray for those that are demonstrating at Ft. Benning, GA in the name of "peace" -calling our soldiers "baby-killers" and "mercenaries for the government." Please allow these people to see the idiocy of their actions.

We ask these favors of You as Your humble and contrite servants in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

(((((((HUGS))))))) to all.

Afternoon FR's Finest...

The tragic events of the weekend have left numb, angry and sad.

Did manage to spend some time with a great bunch of Military Moms and Dads on Saturday as we encouraged our fellow citizens to Support and Honor our Troops. The support of those driving by our location with their honking horns and waves took the chill out of the windy day. The wind flowing though all the flags held them straight out, but it warmed our hearts to see so many folks supporting our troops.

Praying for continuing blessings and protection of our Armed Forces and for our nation's leaders.

Aqua, thanks for bringing us military Monday....

God Bless our Military


Also for the pictures of your meeting with Spookbrat and her family. Isn't it wonderful to actually get to meet FReepers in person? Without a doubt, they are nicest, warmest, friendliest people around....not to mention the most intelligent, talented and patriotic. :-)

[Calpernia]

That is a cute graphic for the Finest thread.
