Boots on the Ground

As many of you know, David has been mobilized and gone from home for quite some time.  Typically, with The Guard units must go to a mobilization station for final prep before heading in country.  Well, that has begun.

Yesterday morning, I received a text from The Captain containing a picture of him in uniform, at sunrise.  It's terribly ironic that his first day with "Boots on the Ground" was 9/11/2015.  It was such a proud moment for David.  I know he's been preparing himself, his troops, and myself for this for almost 2 years. 

In the days to come, our troops will disperse to the various countries throughout that part of the world.  As I'm sure you are aware, some of these regions are not nearly as risky as others.  Nonetheless, I ask you to keep all of these soldiers in the company and battalion in your prayers.  Also, please remember all the other soldiers over there that may be wrapping up their tours.  I also ask you to remember to pray for all of the spouses and families that are missing the soldiers.  For some, it's more difficult since they do not have children and their houses continue to be much to quiet. 

I will update here hopefully, once a week.  I thank you to those for your support, y'all make this much easier to handle!

Love to all :)
