A fathers request.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChevyC102007 · 01-03-2009, 11:19 AM

I know this is an off topic post and the forum mods will probably move it somewhere else but this is my request.

My two sons will be deploying later this year, One for Afghanastan and the other to Iraq. I am very PROUD of these two for helping to defend this country. So even if your against this war, PLEASE join with me in praying for their safe return home and that no harm comes to them while they are over there. Thanks

Chevymann1968 · 01-03-2009, 11:23 AM

Will do my Friend!!!!!! Tell your sons thanks!!!! Freedom isnt free!!

Shyguy · 01-03-2009, 11:32 AM

They will be in my prayers as are all of those who serve our country in the military.

It does not matter if we approve or disapprove of the war as you say.

Their sacrafice is real and they should be praised for serving.

I was in the military in the 60's and can relate to what they are going through.

From an old VietNam vet with a son currently in the military, you got it!

**Ironhorse** · 01-03-2009, 11:38 AM

From another Viet Nam vet, I thank you and I thank your sons for thier service and dedication to the freedoms we enjoy in this country. Freedom is most definetly not free. May the Good Lord watch over them and give them safe return to you.

thirdstreettito · 01-03-2009, 12:01 PM

Will do! Thank them for their service!

**72 Super** · 01-03-2009, 12:59 PM

Tell them THANK YOU from all of us here. May the Good Lord look over them and all the troops as well.

bhoeger70 · 01-03-2009, 01:22 PM

prayers are sent for the both of them for a quick and safe return.

Super-Dave · 01-03-2009, 01:26 PM

Desert Shield/Desert Storm Vet. Praying all my brothers and sisters return home safe.

javahere · 01-03-2009, 01:26 PM

You have some very brave young men..I will pray for their safe return....you must be extremely proud of them, must of had a great role model.

justcuz · 01-03-2009, 02:08 PM

Done! There was not a day that our son was deployed that we did not pray for the safe return of him and his fellow soldiers. It was the longest 13 months of our lives. I am glad he is home safe.

No matter what our beliefs are about wars, there is no excuse not to support the folks who fight them. That kind of courage and sacrafice is what we need more of in this country. I encourage my employer to capatilise on this experience base and hire veterans, every chance I get.

big_al_71 · 01-03-2009, 02:14 PM

Tell them Thank you!!!!
Will do!!!

Longhorn Man · 01-03-2009, 02:24 PM

Prayers sent from another vet.
One doesn't need to support the cause, to support the troops.

**old Rusty C10** · 01-03-2009, 02:47 PM

ill keep good thoughts for both your boys... and tell them that there are a whole lot of people, myself included that are proud of them and support them!

**BillGent** · 01-03-2009, 02:49 PM

I will pray for them. Thank all of you vets for your service and sacrifice.

sjarrett71 · 01-03-2009, 02:55 PM

Prayers for them, all the other men and women fighting, and you! My kids are too young to join the military but my son (who's 5) marches around the house with his toy gun on his shoulder saying "I'm a Marine like you were daddy".
