Bring our troops home safely


Prayer Request

I understand the weather in Iraq is very difficult to bear right now.

Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance and safety.

Send this on after a short prayer; please don't break it:

"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need.
Amen."

 When you read this please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.

 Do not let it stop with you, please - of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best!!!

Thank you.

(Special thanks to Keith, who has a daughter in Iraq)

    A helicopter gunship fired upon a car full of insurgents in the process of planting an Improvided Explosive Device (IED).  Several innocent Iraqis civilians were also wounded in the cross fire.  Both civilians and the wounded insurgents were placed on a medical helicopter that was waiting nearby.  They were flown to the nearest medical unit.

    The medivac landed and the doctors, medics and nurses came running out to triage the wounded.  One man required over thirty units of whole blood.  This put a huge strain on the the aid unit.  They were in need of blood..The call went out for more blood. The soldiers on base were asked to give.    

    Like always, the soldiers came out and lined up, and patiently waited for their turn.  They gave their own blood.  One soldier giving blood was asked how he would feel if he knew that his blood may go to an  insurgent.  The man replied, Sir..they're human beings.
