I have never been on this board before, Have been all over a couple of the other boards before, Glad to find this one and this thread. I will be praying for all our service personnel over seas and here at home.
I met and married my husband just after the first Gulf War. He was in the Air Force. He was a SGT. instructing the military populace (sp?) with Disaster Preparedness, I belonged to Operation Homefront here in FL. When he came back from Saudi, we met, and married and as they say the rest is history, 12 years later. (Some said it wouldn't last.) What a story that was, we were even on the front page of a local paper.
He has since been out of the military but a police officer now and has friends that were sent over to the Middle East, both Afghanastan and Iraq.
He wanted to reinlist when this all started, but his job here is important to.
My heart goes out to all those with family members over seas and who have lost loved ones.
My prayers are with you all. God Bless and be safe.
