My nephew enlisted in the Air Force a year or so after highschool and so far has been a stellar airman. After 2 years in, he is being sent to Iraq at the end of the October. Please pray for my nephew and every soldier deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Thank you.

My nephew is being deployed to Iraq

Will do watchman, those brave young men who are out there under difficult circumstances should quite rightly be upheld in prayer. Wishing a safe reutrn upon your nephew and all those out there. Hope that there will be a peaceful conclusion to all this mess.
I'm not so good at prayer, but I'll do what I can. All those people over there deserve our unqualified support.
I know a fine young man who enlisted in the Marine Corps. He leaves in a couple of days for San Diego. I don't know where he will go from there. But I worry about it.

Personally i don't believe we, as in the allied forces should even be there in the first place but thats a debate for another time.
But i truely wish your nephew a safe and speedy return home to his family.

watchman1, I've been turning pens for this cause:
www.freedompens.org
In short, local woodturners around the country have committed to making pens to send to our US troops who have been deployed overseas. I would like to send one to your nephew before he leaves, if you wouldn't mind PM'ing me his address.

THEY'RE the ones who are awesome. I'm just doing my part to see that it gets recognized once in a while.

Let´s all wish and hope for the very best for your nephew as well as for all his comrades, no matter what their nationality, beleive, or whatever orientation may be. For intolerance and smallmindedness was what brought all this trouble (horror) - all over this little blue planet - upon us. A little bit of peace can not be to much to ask for... If EVERYONE lives in peace with his very next neighbour, that should be all there is to it...
He is officially added to my prayer list... Let him know that regardless of what the clown politicians are doing/saying that the PEOPLE of The United States of America stand behind them!

Thank you all so much for your well wishes and comforting words. I sincerely appreciate them very much.
@AHW... Thanks for your generosity. I know he will appreciate the fact that someone other than a family member wants to show their appreciation for his service to our country. I will PM you his address when he arrives in Iraq. He is on the move right now (time off before he is sent off) and I do not want your gift to get shuffled around and possibly lost.

That's fine; I will put one aside for him. Alternatively, I could send it to you and you could forward it along with your first care package to him, if you would prefer. Let me know what's best for you.
That's a GREAT idea. Please send it to me and I will send it to him. I will PM you with my address (I don't think you have it anymore). Thanks, again!
Hope he is safe and sound, but comes back with lots of great experiences.
Also, make sure he goes with a trustworthy watch on his wrist!

Hi Watchman, My Brother has just returned from Afghanistan and will be returning soon. I cannot tell you what he does just to say he is in dangerous situations (specialist). I understand your concern. I am stressed constantly the whole time he is over there.
I hope all return safely and unharmed.
