Wednesday, March 17 (Day 6): My brother-in-law is a a Lt. Colonel in the US Army. He has previously served an 18-month tour in Afghanistan and was just this week sent back over their on a short mission to observe some of the forward operating bases used by our troops. He posted on facebook on Monday that he arrived safely in Kabul and was preparing for his trips "outside the wire" to observe the FOBs. The recent news about the various bombings and increased Taliban activity over there has underscored for me, yet again, how dangerous it is for our troops over there and in Iraq. Regardless of what a person may feel about the wars and the politics surrounding them, I believe that we should support the men and women who are over there serving for our country. So my gift today was to email Jason and tell him how much we loved him, how proud we were of him and how we will keep him in our thoughts and prayers. I asked him to tell all of the troops over there the same thing. I then went and said a prayer for him and the other troops.
