Please keep my husband in your thoughts and prayers, along with the rest of his unit. It's been a difficult 48 hours for them. Eight men will not be returning. They've made the ultimate sacrifice. Remember their families during this horrible time.

Thank you for your post Jen - the guy from San Antonio - it has been on the news here - and now I see it in your blog.
Your husband and the rest of his troop will be in my prayers.
(((HUGS))) for you, too - can't imagine what it must be like for you.
Tears falling down my face as I imagine the family of the 18 year old.
My daughter is 17, just graduated HS and was a CO of her JROTC Unit. Some of her best friends are already graduating boot camp.
Tell your husband that many people are praying for them and think of them every day.
Praying for them, and for you.
Girl, I a m so sorry. I hope you are doing well. I know it is littl econsulation, but if you need to IM or e-mail or call, please let me know.
