Thank you all for your kind words and your prayers. I wrote this prayer a little while back for a CB friend whose brother was called up. I never thought I'd have to use it for my nephew, he is still a little boy in my eyes.
Robin, my nephew is with the Army Reserve, but left today for the same fort as your BIL. It scares me the number of troops they are calling up.
I think you are right Liz that we need to remember our president and leaders in our prayers, but I also think that we need to remember the leaders of the other involved countries as well, including the enemy, that they can come to a peaceful resolution so the innocent are spared.
