Bless all those that serve everywhere. My son Jay "Sgt Wagner" is in Iraq as we type. I talk to him a lot via skype. He tells me we are not as calm as we all would like to think. He worried me when he told me there has been an incident almost daily. Lives have been lost in his unit recently and bombs still being set off. Roadside things happen a lot. And...there is a roadside bomb they have that our armour can't handle. It is heat activated. Pray our fellas can come up with a solution to protect themselves. We still need to keep prayers and thoughts for them. It isn't as good as I wanted to hear. THANK YOU ALL WHO PUT YOUR LIVES IN DANGER DAILY.Come home soon, safe. I would also like to say to all those that serve, have served, and will serve..."thank you" thank you for your bravery and willingness to be there when it counts. My heart and the hearts of millions are with you in your fine journey of courage and discipline. Kat Hi Kat...My youngest is overseas right now. He has told me time and time again...if you want to know the truth about what is going on don't listen to the media ask someone that is there, or has been. He has been over there for four months so far and has sent 15 bodies home. The last one was on Father's Day. The man's wife was on the plane with him. He said it never gets easier. I hate that this is his job, but at least I know these men and women are being handled with the care and respect that they deserve, because my son would have it NO other way. If you ever want to talk with another "military mom" please feel free to contact me. And please tell you son "thank you" for me and God Bless you both!! Journey Thank you Journey. I will keep that in mind. Mine is also my youngest and last, I hope to go. He began telling me the truths of the still war in Iraq...I guess after he decided I could handle it. I am wuus about my kids and harms way. I am a viewer of George Stephanopolas?? on Sunday morning..on OETA (public television) where every week they say and show the names, ranks and the country in which they died and where they are from. Every single week there are names there. We do not hear about it as we should. The injured are many...but we also do not hear about them. Yes, I live in fear but have begun to breathe a little easier. He has til December to come home. I miss him so. I just sent him two boxes of goodies and things he may need or just some trivial things. Momma things, you know? lol I salute all mothers and of course the family members of all our military, but mostly the mothers...our hearts are in another country, where we can not save them or take it away. Bless your son...and his mother... Kat

In another thread, there's a link to a video from one of Mingle's own, who is now serving in the Middle East. I thought I'd share it here, in case you miss it.
Be WARNED. The F word is used about 100 times. Not safe for kids nearby, or at work. It's called "I'm on a Boat". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9NMstAHBWw From derbyprojustin http://mingle2.com/user/view/395591 God Bless ya, Big Homie. |

I just love it that you are posting here John
thank you so much I am honored by your presence
We who support our Military need places to go to
where we can band together in love & express emotion
 to comfort each other & to show sympathy for one another
I will watch these videos you posted after i cool off
 I just got in from a very hot 8 mile bike ride
 and it is still over 100 degrees after sunset

I love & care for all of you & this is why i am here
My heart goes out to you  & i feel such a calling from on High
 I am literally wakened in the wee hours of the morning to pray for our Troops
and to intercede for them every chance i get
I've been reassured that prayer is the best thing we can do for our Troops
I certainly agree.. ..Threads like these need way more attendence
It breaks my heart to see such apathy & lethargic attitudes
 don't people understand that we are all so intricately connected
A Nation which forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten

America's Symbol When you look up at me with my red, white, and blue waving proudly in the sky, I hope you think about what I stand for beyond placing your hand over heart or standing at attention in salute. I am so much more than a woven cloth of stars and stripes... I am your pride of the USA that is worn, adorn and individually flown for all others to see. I am the courage shown by the valiant troops who raise me up after a victory won. I am the solemn remembrance of the duty served to America that is draped over a coffin and given folded to a loved one. I am each state united as one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. I am Old Glory, America's symbol to the world that will always fly high in the land of the free and the home of the brave! By David G. Bancroft Founder USA Patriotism! http://www.usa-patriotism.com/poems/cf/america_symbol-01.htm |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJH8EFz_0MU&feature=related Oh Gosh John that was soo sad & so touching
and what a beautiful song sung by Loreena McKennitt
Dante's Prayer When the dark wood fell before me And all the paths were overgrown When the priests of pride say there is no other way I tilled the sorrows of stone I did not believe because I could not see Though you came to me in the night When the dawn seemed forever lost You showed me your love in the light of the stars Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Then the mountain rose before me By the deep well of desire From the fountain of forgiveness Beyond the ice and fire Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Though we share this humble path, alone How fragile is the heart Oh give these clay feet wings to fly To touch the face of the stars Breathe life into this feeble heart Lift this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears We'll rise above these earthly cares Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Please remember me

please listen to this awesome song & watch this video
Patriot Guard - A Pittance of Time by Terry Kelly http://www.metacafe.com/watch/326294/pittance_of_time_a_tribute_to_troops/ They fought and some died for their homeland. They fought and some died, now it's our land. Look at his little child; there's no fear in her eyes. Could he not show respect for other dads who have died? Take two minutes, would you mind? It's a pittance of time, For the boys and the girls who went over. In peace may they rest, may we never forget why they died. It's a pittance of time. God forgive me for wanting to strike him. Give me strength so as not to be like him. My heart pounds in my ******, fingers pressed to my lips, My throat wants to bawl out, my tongue barely resists. But two minutes I will bide. It's a pittance of time, For the boys and the girls who went over. In peace may they rest. May we never forget why they died. It's a pittance of time. Read the letters and poems of the heroes at home. They have casualties, battles, and fears of their own. There's a price to be paid if you go, if you stay. Freedom's fought for and won in numerous ways. Take two minutes, would you mind? It's a pittance of time, For the boys and the girls all over. May we never forget, our young become vets. At the end of the line, It's a pittance of time. It takes courage to fight in your own war. It takes courage to fight someone else's war. Our peacekeepers tell of their own living hell. They bring hope to foreign lands that hate mongers can't kill. Take two minutes, would you mind? It's a pittance of time, For the boys and the girls who go over. In peacetime our best still don battle dress And lay their lives on the line. It's a pittance of time In peace may they rest, Lest we forget "Give thanks to those who defend democracy for they bear the gift of liberty and pay the price of freedom " |
