Please, PLEASE keep our military men and women on your prayers!! We MUST not loose sight of them being over there in a DANGEROUS land! Continue to lift them up. My cousin Maggie has her son over in Iraq. She is a nervous wreck everytime they get news of a fallen soldier! Heavenly Father PLEASE cover them with your shield of protection!
