Thankful

Lately things have been a little on the rough side for me. Emotionally things have just been flowing uncontrollably through me, to where I seem so confused, lonely, and lost.

I'm so lucky to have such good friends. I'm sure they don't even realize how much the littlest things mean to me. Whenever I need someone to talk to they are always there for me. I don't even have to talk about what exactly is bothering me, just talking to someone, and it's like they know exactly what to say or do to make my laugh or smile....These are the things in life that I'm thankful for.

I don't think I would be able to make it through some of the things I'm going through without them.

I just want to say Thank you for being there for me. Just listening...Just having your presence there has been so helpful to me... Thank you. You are my true Friends. We have a friendship that will last a life time. I have truly been blessed.

Service

The following is a post by Steve Harrigan of the Fox News Channel who is embedded with our Soldiers.

A memorial service today for a soldier killed in action. The entire regiment attended. Empty boots and helmet. His friends and officers spoke about him. There is a part of the ceremony that I had not seen before that caught me by surprise and caught Rudden by surprise also. The company commander began to call roll, the first two soldiers responded to their names, then the commander called the name of the fallen soldier. I looked to the boots. There was no response. Now the name was called again, urgently, with the first name included. It hung in the silence. Then it was called a third time, with the middle initial, and a sense of finality, and it hit everyone there.
