My son called from Ramadi, Iraq to let me know that he is safe. There have been 70 people killed and another 65 were injuried in the Ramadi area. He told his father and I (we were on a 3-way call) that this is the first time he's seen dead bodies and couldn't believe all the injuries and the severity. When he wasn't able to donate blood because he is AB+, he went around to all the units to have others with 0 and A+ donate. While only 7 were soldier casualties, 1 is too many for this Marine mom.
Please pray for all of our men and women serving abroad today. |
