Any updates from our overseas soldiers?

[Pam]

I've been worried about our soldiers over in Iraq. Does anyone have an update?


They are all still very much in my prayers.

My friend's DH is over there and he seems to be OK at the moment.

I just got word from my brother this weekend that their squad is being replaced with another from their base and if all goes well he will be home this coming weekend. I hate it for others having to go over, but I'm glad that he'll be home soon.

Titus is still at a base outside of Mosul. He has no word yet on when he might be coming home.

Our area is home to the 3rd Infantry Division, and a lot of them are coming home later this week....On a side note, my cousin's husband is an Army Ranger, he got sent home early due to injury. He and some of the other guys from his unit were securing one of Saddam's palaces, when someone threw a grenade at them. The explosion killed his two friends, and he lost his eye....His future is now kind of up in the air, because we don't think he'll be allowed to stay in the service...They have 2 small children, one is 2 and one isn't even a year old yet. Lots of prayers still going out to our guys over there, and for all of you at home who are missing your loved ones.

One of DH's friends was there and has now returned - he was installing some communication stuff.
My friend's fiance is still in southern Iraq - safe, as far as we know. He doesn't have access to email or a phone, and the letters take over a month to reach her.
The security forces from our base have not come back yet. None of them have been killed. No word on a return date, either.
