Killed in Iraq.
Such a child.
They just want to get back with their comrades as soon as possible.
Here is the reason those faces affect me so much, and why I can relate to how their families feel: That's my son, Jim, taken during Desert Storm in 1991. I remember how awful it was to watch the news during that time.
I pray for all our troops, and also for the moms and dads who wonder, "Will my boy (or girl) come home?" Because I was once in their shoes.

Scary and sad. :-(
I do thank you for the pictures. I always pray for the men and women fighting for our country, and for their families.

A very thoughtful entry and a very serious one. I too pray for the troops and their families. Paula
Thankfully back in 91 it didn't last as long or was as brutal as this mess now. I was pretty scared back then because I was in the inactive reserves. Had it gone on much longer I could have been called back to duty even though I had been out for 3 years already. But, you know, I think I'm more stressed out now because it seems so much more real for some reason. So very sad. :-( ---Robbie
