Godspeed Marines

Friend of this blog, "N", sends this via email:
We were at 29 Palms Saturday for the send off. "D" left for his 2nd Deployment to Iraq on that day. His best friend from high school who is also a Marine left for his 2nd deployment on Friday.

So far I know "D" got to Kuwait and is taking a CH53 in country...and his Area of Operations is vast and ever changing - as is his mission objective. Sooooo I'll just pray alot and keep sending him mail.
So will we "N". Contrary to the opinion of some of our leaders they truly are our best and brightest, we will keep him and all of them in our prayers because they mean everything to us.
