It is hard to wax eloquently when it feels a St. Bernard has locked his jaws onto your backside. That is where we find ourselves today. The 1st BCT has received the equivalent of a warning order that we are being extended for an unspecified period of time in Iraq. Soon we will find out if it is true or not, but the effect of the possibility is true enough. Back home in the states the news spread like wild fire. Here it landed like mortars with a sick thud.
Near the end of our race just when we thought the finish line would be around the next bend, we have learned our 10k race may actually be a marathon. Like a runner who didn’t pace himself for the full race we are hurting a bit, ok a lot. If this happens we will miss another season of birthdays, anniversaries, and special events. Parents, spouses and children will drive on without us for another season. This is the proposed reality we face. It is a little hard to breathe if you think to long on it.
Sir, you ended you post by saying, "We are not alone, " and sir you are absolutley correct you are not alone we are here with you as is God.
Stay Strong.
We will never stop praying for all of our men and women in uniform.
