Say a little prayer for my boys
My oldest son Lance just left for Iraq for a mission to clear an area for the Army to setup. Lance was just promoted to Sargent. I guess where he's going is considered a "hot zone". Depending on how the mission goes he could be there as short as 3 months and as long as 8 months. From there he goes to Afghanistan.
My middle son Nathan is in Djibouti working on helicopters. He said it was 135 degrees there the other day, I can't even imagine that. I guess the good news is there is no fighting where he's at.
Both Lance and Nathan are Marines but they finally talked their little brother Alex to transfer from the Marines to the Air Force before he goes to boot camp. Problem is the corp seems to be dragging their feet on getting his paper work submitted so as it stands he'll be going into Marine boot camp at the end of this month.
So as it stands all my boys and I'm sure all the men and service women could use our prayers right about now if you're the praying type. Thanks

We'll keep them in our prayers for the lord to have them all return home safe.

We will pray for their safe return. Our nephew is also in the marines, and left today for Iraq. My prayers are with all of them

I've got two boys of my own. Brett 14 and Nathan 11. Must be tough to see your boys leave the nest so to speak.
I wish them all a safe return.

God's grace to you and yours! My year in Iraq was very much a demonstration of the power of prayer. Thanks for raising strong sons and for asking us to share in their prayer team. Godspeed to each of them.

Will Do Lamont. I am sure its rough on you and your wife. To be so proud but scared for your kids at the same time.. God Bless

A fine group of boys there Lamont. You and your wife must be very proud.
My husband and I do not have children. It's easy to forget that the men and women who serve our country are someone's sons and daughters. I can't imagine what it must be like to have your child in a war.
I will pray for your sons' safe return home. I am grateful for their service.

Lamont... your boys, and their family, are in my prayers.
And, tell them THANK YOU SO MUCH so their service! /o

Definitely will keep them, you and your wife in my prayers. The hardest thing about having children is letting them go. I have found great comfort in knowing that I have a God who I trust with the most precious gifts He has given me...my children. I'm sure you feel the same.

I recall my parents concern when I was deployed to Viet Nam. It was prayer and communication [via mail in those days] that gave us all strength and perseverance.
I will support your family in my prayers.

We're all praying for them, my friend, and don't forget His promise in Psalm 91:
14 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” Psalms 91:14-16 (NLT)

My prayers are with them and you.
Thanks For their service.
