Remembering...

At least 110 U.S. troops have been killed in May. And with these deaths, at least 3,460 members of the military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003.


Those numbers are horrible.
Everyone, take time as often as you can, to pray for the soldiers that die for our freedom, and the freedom of others. Remember, its not just them, its their families, their friends and those who are impacted by their deaths.

As a wife of a US Navy Chief, I know part of the price that is paid for our freedom. You can ask me or my kids the sacrifices we've had to make with Mike serving our country for the past 20 years.

But we all must do our part. I believe we don't all have to be in the military to serve our country. We can all do our own part. Send cards to those who lost loved ones. Email is good too. What about a care package to a child of one of the fallen soldiers.

There are many ways to make a difference. Pray and ask God to guide the box to the right person. Sometimes you can't get a specific address to one person so it goes to random people, BUT if you are asking God to direct that passage to someone who needs it, I believe He will. So, when that box leaves your hands, you know it will make a difference in someone's life.
