Fallen Warriors

I received 3 email notification of Vanguard fallen warriors from my FRG(family readiness group) yesterday, so I waited for my husband to get online, I wasn't able to talk to him before he went to work because I went out early in the morning to join rafting here. He told me about those rockets that hit outside their FOB, then I asked him if those 3 dead soldiers are from there, he said no. I feel so sad for the family of those fallen soldier, they will never be forgotten.
They have sacrifice their lives over this stupid war.
Thank God that I always talk to my husband everyday, it makes me worry and freak out if I didn't hear anything from him, I hope that he can come home soon and be with us.

Families torn by citizenship for fallen

I read this article today about those dead soldiers in iraq who just became US citizens, Its kinda funny, well whats the use of that when they are already gone, why do they have to sacrifice their lives in order to be a permanent resident of the United states of America, its too late for that.
i think their parents or wives can claim something from the government now since they have been recognize bu the government. It is just so sad that they died trying to protect America and it is just rightful for their families to obtain all the benefits, they are entitled to it for than anybody, after all they lost their life serving this country.

5 years

It has been 5 long years since the war in Iraq started, and nearly 4000 men and women in uniform have died. My husband has been deployed twice, in 2005 and last year. We are expecting for a 15 month tour now. I dont know much about politics and this war but one thing I am sure of, I want my husband back in a safer ground. Although were not yet living together since Im still here, of course I want a husband that I can come home to, a father to our son, I want a happy and complete family like anybody else.
I guess life is unfair sometimes, you cant have it all.
I've learned to be patient, understanding and more prayerful.
I always pray that God will guide and protect him at all times.
