I hear he needs a place to hide. To all New Yorkers......need a new computer? How about some new furniture? Maybe a new TV? The anti-war "Peace" protest is happening now. The violence and looting will be starting soon. Now is the time to get in on the mayhem. Wow! It's going to have it all.....fires, fights, injuries and bloodshed. P.S. God protect us all from the Peace freaks. |

Title: Re: GIVE ME A KIP 10 INSTEAD OF THIS... Post by catlind on Mar 22nd, 2003, 2:25pm Nancy, Huge hugs to you sis. There is nothing in the world harder than sending someone you love off to war. It's a devastating time frame waiting to hear what where when and how they are. Reach out whenever you need to. You and Ree both. It's the hardest thing in your life to do, but you have to be strong, and you have to stay proud, and you have to believe they will come home safe and soon. Despite having been through this all too many times, Kosovo and Afghanistan, nothing makes the pain easier. Not much can ease your mind, so you need to take comfort in each other, and in friends and loved ones who understand. Call on me anytime either ofyou just want to talk. Cat |

Title: Re: GIVE ME A KIP 10 INSTEAD OF THIS... Post by Ree on Mar 22nd, 2003, 8:35pm I know this hurts you so much Nancy I am right there with you friend. We have to remember that these guys are so so brave, and that they volunteered to join. Not like the old days when the draft was in our country. We have brave strong boys that will help our country be free and protect us so that their children will have what we had before 9/11... They are also helping a people that have NEVER been able to say they could say what they wanted or have an opinion... It touches my heart when I have seen video over the past few days of OUR soldiers helping THEIR guys surrender. What also hurts is all the protesting going on in the world... As I have said before peaceful protests are ok. Opinions are OK but the war is here folks... time to sit back and support our troops even if you dont support the big W man.... Sean is safe for today I feel it in my heart. Each day gets a little better... a few days ago I didnt want to get out of bed. He would hate that. Scott called to check on his ma. He knew I would be worried about Sean and he is too. He told me that if either one of them died for freedoms sake they at least would have made a difference in this world. God Bless you Nancy our hearts will be lonely as we X those days off the calendar... Sean has already been gone a month with 7 more to go before I enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner with him and what a Thanksgiving that will be...be strong chin up and kiss that grandchild every day and tell him how great his Daddy is... from me your friend and another Proud Military MOM... |

Title: Re: GIVE ME A KIP 10 INSTEAD OF THIS... Post by nancyc on Mar 23rd, 2003, 11:28am Thank you for all your prayers...Ree, I understand the feeling of not wanting to get out of bed..but I am trying to hold it together for my son, grandson and daughter in law...one day at a time...my grandson took two steps yesterday...I only wish his Daddy could have been here to see it...Stephen called this morning to say goodbye before going out in the woods for five days for manuvers..special training before he is shipped over there..he thinks they are going to Iraq...my prayers are with Sean and all of our soldiers...yes, i wish all the protestors would PRAY and stop and think that their actions are being seen around the world...and our soldiers dont need this negativity to distract them ..Do I like war? NO.and doubt if anyone in America likes war.I believe in peace..but I believe in what my son and Ree's and the others are doing..unfortunately, in order to achieve peace sometimes , there has to be war..I pray it is over soon..I am proud of the sacrifice my son has made for his country and his family...God bless all of you...Another proud military mom, nancyc |

Title: Re: GIVE ME A KIP 10 INSTEAD OF THIS... Post by LadyWitch on Mar 23rd, 2003, 3:13pm My heart hurts for all. Would like to share my experience in hopes it will help others to know that we do get through it. In Late 60's i stayed with my sister and her newborn son while her husband did 9 months in Viet Nam. He missed so much of the baby, but she kept a diary of sorts with pics and stories. Today that son is in the Army and his dad has had many years of watching proudly as his son has grown into a man. Thankfully, for now, he is in an Army school in Az. Later when Saigon fell, our son was 4 yo, my husband was on the command ship of the Pacific fleet. I remember watching tv and seeing films of helicopters landing on the deck bringing out evacuees. There wer too many helicopters to fit on the ship and they started having the pilots fly the helicopters out over the water, jump out and let them fall into the ocean. The day one of the empty copters swirled back and crashed into the ship leaving a large gapping hole in the side just above the water line was the worst for me. I had thought at least the ships were safe at sea. I will never forget the day the ship pulledinto port in San Diego (hole still unrepaired) . All of us wifes were there as is custom to meet them. I still have a picture of my husband standing in the opening on one of the lower decks. Today our son is in Germany to the best of my knowledge. They do not tell me when he gets sent on TDY (temporary duty) because I worry so much. But I am a realist and know that he has been sent to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in the past three years and when needed to keep the transport planes flying, he will go again. I keep reminding myself that he is not the only Mother's son over there even if he is the most important to me. All of them are there serving with HONOR for a very HONORABLE REASON, no matter what the activists say. I have had a very large family and many have gone from this life. Every night I pray to their spirits to be his guardian angels when he is in harms way. LW...(lighting a white candle to guide all home safely) |

Title: Re: GIVE ME A KIP 10 INSTEAD OF THIS... Post by catlind on Mar 23rd, 2003, 5:13pm You bring up a very good point LadyW, When Clark was deployed to Afghanistan, I wrote in a journal every day. I wrote what happened with our 18month old son, and I took lots of pictures and mailed them to him, and I took video tapes and sent them to him, although he wasn't able to see those, he did see the pictures, and when he came home he was able to read about each and everyday we had without him so he could at least feel like he was here. The hardest thing in the world for me was that xmas alone, with my children, knowing he would be in a cold wet tent and that his gifts had not arrived, while we sat warm and full with hot food and a pretty tree and gifts all around. It was the most heartbreaking day for me. I did silly things to make him laugh, like sending a stuffed frog to him with a picture of our little one in matching frog stuffed slippers. I sent some rather hard to explain photos of him to his co-workers to have fun with. We all pitched in to send things to all the guys to make them all laugh and feel a bit of love from home. I have to add yet another name to the list as my next door neighbor has left today for Iraq. I wish all the activists would remember that the troops deployed didn't ask to go there, they do not determine policy, they are ordered to carry it out. And they do it proudly and with honor. Their hearts break when they are away from family, they miss so much, and witness terrible horrors, and it hurts them deeply when their fellow citizens act as if the troops themselves are responsible. I can't help but wonder if any of the peace protesters in their violent show of ignorance would be one of the ones who would throw a grenade into a tent of his sleeping comrades. Cat |
