Tears for Troops

The last few days have been really hard. My emotions started to get the best of me again over the Memorial Weekend holiday and continue to plague my days. The memory and pain of losing a friend came crashing back down on our family, as we watched the parades that were dedicated to his memory. Everyday I see more numbers, faces and names of our soldiers that have given the ultimate price. As of today, 3 soldiers were abducted, one found dead and two other Military I.D.s shown as proof of capture. Seeing those ID's has stabbed my heart to the core, as it is the exact ID that my husband carries in his pocket everyday. Though he is not there right now, I can't imagine what these families most be going through to see the ID's plastered all over the news & the internet. My prayers and tears are with all of our troops. I pray for all of the families across our country that hear of a new death in the Middle East and wonder if uniformed officers will be approaching their front door. As of today, the total loss for the country since the conflict has begun is 3,493, the total for CT is 38.
