ELEVENTH HOUR

Today marks the eleventh month of our deployment. Our battalion just lost its first soldier.

I am SO sorry. Please extend my deepest condolences to the family. One more person to whom we owe more than we can ever say...

Do you know who it is yet?

I'm very sorry...

Blogs like yours make this war real, and emphasize the sacrifice of the troops over there and remind me of our deep debt to each and every one of them!

Take care.

You and your fellow spouses now have a mission, Sarah:

Gather around his widow/family and give your support (as I am certain you are all already doing).

A prayer is on my lips as I type. As they once said at the Hanoi Hilton,

GBY

I'm so very sorry Sarah.

I wish I had the right words to say, but I don't.

Just please know that my thoughts and prayers are with the family, as well as with you and the soldiers in your husbands battalion.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones, and every one of the families there waiting for your battalion to return.

I'm so sorry to hear this.
