Would like to have a list from our Phen family who has loved ones/friends serving in the armed forces here or abroad. I know we have several Phrends that are being touched by this right now and hundreds are being called to active duty everyday.

This is not a Pro-War or Anti-War post. Please dont make it one. This is just a list so we can remember them in our prayers, remember their families at home,and let them know how much we appreciate and support the work they are doing.

My older brother is a West Point graduate who was supposed to go to Turkey about a month ago, but with the Turkey Parliment not letting US toops in, my brother will most likely be headed out to Kuwait within a few days. I would really appreciate your prayers and support. Thanks!

Edited to say that my bro is a newlywed as well.

My cousin's husband is a Marine. He has been in Kuwait for a little over a month. They are newlyweds, and she is pregnant. I wish the best for all the troops, and am very thankful for everything they do for me and my family.

My bestfriend who lives in Nashville, her fiance was stationed in Fort Campbell, KY and he was just sent to Kuwait.
Big D, he was to go to Turkey also but has been in Kuwait for about 2 1/2 weeks.

Today is the day. My oldest son, Brad, is leaving. I am meeting him this evening for dinner and then they are scheduled to leave at 8 p.m.
I didn't know until this a.m. that his 7 yr. old son thought we were all joking about him actually leaving. (Brad has only been home for 5 mos. from Afghanistan.) Poor little guy. But he has a mom that is the best! NOBODY has a daughter-in-law better than me!
Please say a prayer for Brad and his family. And you better throw one in for me that I can hold it together at least until he is out of sight!

Lane, hugs and love sent your way for you and the family. And a special one for the little guy - it's gotta be tough explaining to him why dad is leaving again

My little sister and her husband are both in England, awaiting orders. My neice (2 and a half) and nephew (9 months)are being sent over here to stay with family while they are gone.
The same thing happened right after 9/11, but it was just my neice then and they were in Phoenix. My mom and sister drove to pick her up then, and we all shared taking care of her for 3 months. I guess it's gonna be like that again.

well after all the stress of my brother maybe/maybe not being called up in the last few months - they called him to San Diego to work on the remaining ships that are sitting there.

apparently he's only one of 4 people in the country that does what he does - which is deepsea repair/salvage/diving - so, he's there repairing naval ships but is still on notice to leave with the next amphibious/navy seal team as navy seal diving support. whatever all that means i do not know...

i pray for everyone.

Big D - that I'm not sure of now. He was told 10 months but that was before Pres. Bush's announcement. If/when we attack there's not telling.
He is a Sgt and technical engineer for the blackhawk aircraft with the 101st Airborne. My friend hasn't heard from him since he got there.
