michael:

I would have to say you're in the zone , but Iam curious is the troops faith before engagement natural or devinely inspired ... I will add my prayers of protection for your troops tonight... you obviously still have good coverage. New Mexico can wait for a new senitor , Alaska's sins maybe catching up with him. dave is bee boping around country--- im here at home trying to have patients for small minded people.( i took the day off and played with my kids). my other in-country saint says Ron Paul is the one because he wants a complete shut down of the federal reserve which we all know finances the real bad guys . later to all KAHDUSHAN aka jerry aka michael aka friend

Bill Bolyard:

I was very glad to receive this site from Lt Dolny's parents in VA. Lt Dolny's Christian faith guides his life and I am certain that prayer before and after missions is a routine for his platoon. It is wonderful to have such committed young men in our nation's military. We all ask for God's protection for each and everyone of them. Bill in Albuquerque, friend.
