ladyjane Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 1761 Loc: Southern Maine, USA	Thanks, Chatty! I just went to the site and sent 6 cards and will continue to do so. I've also sent an email to many family and friends to remind them to do the same. What a timely reminder of support needed. Thanks, again. _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett

dancer9 Registered: 04/15/07 Posts: 2411 Loc: Arizona	I do as much as I can for them. My husband is full career military, as well as DEA and Border Patrol when he was "lent out." I am in a position because I am on base a lot to do what I can for the families of those who are overseas. They need so much encouragement and it is heartwrenching to talk to them when they are home before they return for another tour. They have to make tour after tour when in Vietnam they only had one tour to deal with. So many things will be left to deal with when each service member is done with this war. Again, it is heartwrenching to talk to these young men and women. They are, a lot of them, only children. dancer Edited by dancer9 (10/10/07 08:24 PM) _________________________ http://www.annalisanews.com/ "Question your privilege"

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Bless your heart Dancer for what you do to help these young people. Unless we've been there, we can't imagine the fear and discomfort they suffer... _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	dancer, I'm sure it is also hard to see the families carry on without them while there are away fighting for our freedom. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

dancer9 Registered: 04/15/07 Posts: 2411 Loc: Arizona	Thank you, Chatty I do have an idea what they are going through. My husband has had a full government career and his job keep him in harms way most of his career. I was beside myself at times and have learned to deal with it. I try to help those left at home too, as well as those leaving. My husband spends some time talking to those who are leaving for their tour and it seems to help them to talk to someone who has been in a situation somewhat like theirs. Theirs is harder though, they must go tour after tour, as I said. My husband stayed in harms way like they are because of his job in the government and those left behind must learn to have faith and stay in their lives as well as supporting their loved ones. I can remember the fear when my husband had some hard missions and I'll never forget that feeling. I know how I felt about the country as well when he was in those situations. It's complex but one thing is true of all of those heros: They believe in the US and will lay down their lives for that belief. They feel they are serving US as well as the U.S. dancer Edited by dancer9 (10/11/07 03:29 PM) _________________________ http://www.annalisanews.com/ "Question your privilege"

I would like to direct everyone's attention to our website, www.thefellowshipofthedevastated.com The website supports a book project that we hope will not only honor our Heroes, but provide help and guidance to those families who will also find themselves on this journey in the future. _________________________ When you give it away, it all comes back tenfold, they say. http://www.thefellowshipofthedevastated.com www.arivaevents.com
