| Please pray for my brother My only brother is headed to Iraq. He is in Ft Sill right now but will be leaving at the end of March to go overseas. I am 10 yrs older than him & we lost our Mom when he was 12 & I was 22, so not only do I have sisterly feelings for him but I also have motherly feelings for him! (We are 39 & 49 now). He is also my best friend! I just got remarried in September & he gave me away, but he couldn't bring himself to tell me until close to Thanksgiving because he knew I would be a blubbering idiot! And he was right I certainly was. I am thinking the more prayers he has hopefully the safer he will be so PLEASE pray for Tony. He is in an assault helicopter battalion which is totally freaking me out. Thank you in advance for anyone that would be willing to pray for him. |

| THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Alot of people think we have a weird relationship but I feel as though he is my own son instead of just a brother. We have always taken care of each other & he wanted to re-enlist along time ago but wouldn't leave me. Of course when I finally remarried he felt there was someone else that would watch out for me! I just miss him terribly & hes still in the US for pete sakes I think I will be a basket case when he goes to Iraq. |

| I'll definitely remember your brother in my prayers. I believe the greatest thing any of us can do for our soldiers is pray for their safety.

| I'll definitely keep your little brother in my prayers. I have a nephew and a cousin on their second tours there, now. I have so much respect for all of the men and women who are putting their lives on the line to protect our freedom. I'm an army brat and saw my Dad go off to war. I know it's not easy. Be brave - be proud.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I am so greatful to your brother for serving our beautiful Country. My brother plans to join the Marines after he finishes college, and the idea scares me so badly. I will certainly have you and your brother in my thoughts and prayers. It takes a very special person to give so much of themselves.

| I agree with all the previous posters. It sounds like you have a very warm, close relationship with your brother. I appreciate him and his fellow servicemen and women. Your family will be in our prayers.

| God Bless your brother and other's like him who help keep our country safe. If it weren't for people like him where would we be? May God keep him safe. You must be so very proud of him. What a wonderful loving relationship the two of you have. Be strong. |
