wow... sounds like we're gearing up again.
as always, i pray for my brothers and sisters in arms and their families who wonder if they'll see them again.
the new iraqi soldiers are also on my mind. they're in the difficult position of laying siege to a city in their own country. it must be hard for them to stay steadfast and resolute... yet the stability of the country and it's future are on their shoulders. i pray that they have the courage to win decisively and maintain the discipline necessary to avoiding more divisions w/their fellow iraqi countrymen down the road.
