I'll keep this particular post simple. 31 August 2005, While working, was IM'd by Dan in Iraq around 01:30 hrs... Whew... it's been almost 10 days since last contact...then quick phone call... from forward base... Unable to talk long but he's ok...moving to rear for 1-3 days from the sound of his cryptic message. But he's in one piece and worried about friends in New Orleans. They are worried about him too.. Keep praying for all out troops. G-d Bless America. (pray also for all those that lost their lives to Hurricane Katrina)
later.....

IF YOU ARE READING MY BLOG FOR THE FIRST TIME, REALIZE THE FIRST ENTRY IS THE MOST RECENT. IF YOU'D LIKE TO GET MORE BACKGROUND, START AT THE BEGINNING, AUGUST 2004 IN THE ARCHIVES (links on right side)
My son Dan, my hero, a Marine fighting to defend freedom in Iraq for the second time is safe following the bomb attack on an AAV that killed so many Marines from the 3rd Bn, 25th Marines and Amtrackers from the 4th AA Bn (Dan's unit)
I finally got a call from Dan yesterday... I miss him... I love him and can only say I am glad he is safe and is able to call home periodically.
I am a wreck...I should not watch the news... I visit www.MarineParents.com too often and read of other familes feeling the same way. And yet others that have lost sons or daughters in this war. I want Dan to come home. We must all Support and Pray for ALL our troops.
We must always REMEMBER.... We must always be Thankful.... and we must always be Faithful...
SEMPER FIDELIS....
