Thank you so much for posting this! I don't have any member of my family fighting but many friends have, both in UK and in the USA. I don't know who wrote this but whoever they are, it is simply beautiful and no doubt a much needed boost for all the boys out there.





As for asking individually ... I pray for them all as we should all do!So what do you think?

Sounds like we are all waiting for this ugly war to end...I will think of this daily, just before my complaints are heard...
