not so good news on the home front

Many of you read the story of George's son being state side, and even in NJ for fathers day this year. He had been stationed in Germany along with his wife and kids, for the past 4 years. they just bought a house in Co, and will be stationed there...so we thought..

George just got a call tonight, and his son, (also named George) is being deployed for his 3rd time, to Iraq.

His dad is not happy.

Now despite your views on the war, remember the soldier is doing his job. You dont have to support the war to support our troops. Keep him, his family and my husband in your thoughts.
We were hoping George would be home for good.

I'll definately keep George in my prayers tonight along with everyone else who's overseas risking their lives to give everyone to live freely.

I agree, that no matter what your view on the war, we must ALWAYS support our troops. My best wishes go out to George and to all our troops. I thought it so important for them to know how grateful we are that they are out there protecting us, I adopted some soldiers. I encourage others to do the same because it really helps their morale.

I am absolutely behind our President and our troops. George's son, along with all the other BB loved ones in the military, is in my prayers every day -- Psalm 91 and Psalm 121!
