Thanks for the special greeting for "Military Mothers." Being a "Military Mother" is of the most stressful trials of motherhood. Today we must pray that our children return well mentally and spiritualy as well as physically.
My 35 yr old is a medic in a Naval Reserve unit which supports a Marine unit. He was slated to go 5 years ago, however he had not completed the Naval medic training and wound up not going to Iraq after about 6 months of training. He has just returned from a 7 month tour in Iraq which was preceeded by special training which made his time away about a year with a few days home leave. My heart did not rest until I saw him in the flesh.

Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 580 | I echo the admiration for all mothers and like others, as if motherhood was not enough, military moms hold a special place in my heart.
God bless you all, and I pray for the safety of all who are serving overseas.
Thanks Moms.
