well...this thread is all over the place.
so....I thought I had a pretty good appreciation for our troops....from all wars and conflicts. I had the excellent oppurtunity to spend the evening last night with an extrordinary young man of 19. He just got back fron Iraq. His dad is retired from Navy. His brother is in the marines. He is in the army.
They were doing a sweep of homes over there and came across a mother and child huddled together. The child was 8. They were hiding AK 47's. The 8 year old grabbed one and pumped 5 rounds into this young mans chest. Unbelievable. Broke the plate in the vest but did not pierce it. Is tough for me to even write what he had to do to survive. At 19 years old. \
Prayer works. Please pray for our guys over there. Thank you.
