From Pam: It is a great privilege that I am able to write you today. I want to express my deepest thanks for the sacrifice you are making for all America. I am ashamed and embarrassed for the behavior of a few shallow and narrow-minded individuals, and I hope that you are not taking any of their idiotic actions to heart. There are many, many Americans who hold the flag high and with great pride, and who back our great President as he faces troublesome challenges in the weeks to come. Know that you are all in our prayers daily, and we pray for your families as well. With the strength of proud Americans behind you, I know you will come out of this with great victory! Hold your heads high, and feel in your hearts the thoughts and prayers of Americans everywhere for your safety. God Bless you all.

From Gloria: We are praying for you and asking the Lord to send His angelic hosts before you wherever you go. We are lifting up Psalm 91 over your lives as a shield and a buckler.

May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bless you and keep you. By God's grace you will be home soon.

Get the job done & hurry home.... the home you keep safe :) More prayers are going up for you all than you will ever know. We love each one & thank you!!!!!! Just as with " David & Goliath", so is Jesus able to do the same for you fine people.

From the Harley Family in WY: To any one of you who think that there is nobody rooting for you.... There is...so many of us are lifting every one of you up in prayer on a daily basis. We may not know you, but God does, and He has the power to get you through this. Thanks so much for risking your own lives for us, so that I can pray, and send this note to you with no fear. God bless you!!

From Vernon: Those of you who are near Iraq are standing on Holy Ground. God was with Abraham there. God was with Noah there. God was with Jonah there. God was with Daniel there. God was with the three Hebrew children there. God is no respecter of persons and God will be with you there. Believe it!

From Susan & Tony: I just want to say my most sincere thank you for the sacrifice you are making. This country was founded by brave people who did the difficult jobs and paid the big prices on behalf of all of us. Too many of us who benefit never say thanks. My mother, my father, many uncles, and my husband and his father all served in the armed forces. They were just kids like you when they went in but were very grown up when they returned home.
Disregard any negatives you see on the news, they paint a jaded picture because they can't and won't do for their country what you will do. They don't love this country as we do and wonder what makes you tick. There is no use explaining. I thank you for helping to keep America the greatest country ever built, not perfect but the best place I know to live. Thank you for the hard days and nights and less than spectacular meals you endure!!. Thank you is small but it is heartfelt. I am praying for you every day. Call upon the Lord in all your hard times, He is never too far and His arm is not too short to rescue.

From Pauline: My son is in Kuwait since early Nov. 2002. My prayers and love are with him at all times and I know our great Father in heaven is watching over him and all our military men and women. Thank you and God bless us all.

From Pam: You are in every prayer for a hedge of protection around you in this time of uncertainty. God bless you and keep you safe.

From Crystal: My husband, a U.S. Marine, was deployed to Kuwait on January 27, 2003. He has just returned from an unaccompanied one-year tour to Okinawa, Japan. Together we have a two-year-old son that I have raised by myself for a good part of his young life. I am so proud of him and of all our service men and women. I know the sacrifices you make are great, as I have witnessed in my own life. Stay strong and seek comfort in our Lord. You are all in my prayers.

From Wanda: My prayers are with all of you and I lift you up daily to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have a son in the Marines and he is in Kuwait. I pray for all our military and their families. I have faith they are in the Lord’s hands and He will take care of them.

From Rene: It must be frustrating, irritating, and unbelievable to you that Americans here at home are protesting United States involvement in ousting Saddam Hussein. We're not all like that, it's just that the sensible Americans are just more quiet and unpretentious. There you are, prepared to fight for their right to be loud, misinformed, and obtuse. It reminds me of Jesus, sacrificing his life for all of us “stupid humans”. Hopefully, you won't give up so much for the Iraqi people, all of the Middle East, and the rest of our world. Each Tuesday morning our ladies' prayer group meets and brings you, your family, your commanders, our Commander in Chief, his advisors, and even the Iraqi people and Saddam Hussein all before God in prayer. We pray for your safety, for wisdom, for supernatural protection, and that somehow this situation will be used by God to lead people to their salvation through Jesus Christ. We pray for the Iraqi Christians who are persecuted, and look forward to their liberation, thanks to YOUR presence and efforts. On the other half of the world, we pray the same things for the North Koreans, our service personnel there, and the neighboring countries. Individually we pray these things daily as well. It's not just my church, there are lots of people lifting YOU up before the Lord, day in and day out. You rock. Thank you for keeping your word and doing the right thing. Ignore the protests, and forgive them, for they know not what they do or why they do it. To honor you and your service to our country, I'm going to hang out my flag every single day until you come back home. May the Lord richly bless and protect you.
