Pattie - I pray God will surround you with his protective angels and your fellow US soldiers, and the Iraqi policeman and all the "good" Iraqis who do want freedom and peace. I was a Ranger for a year in Vietnam (in the bush) so I know the discomforts you experience but the mental part is worse for you because of the terrorist activity. "Thank you" is not adequate for all you guys are doing. Know in our heart, sould and mind that tens of milliosn of us deeply appreciate the daily sacrifices you are making and pray God's blessing upon you in spite of the circumstances.
