Default Military Send Off~
Good morning! I am just really proud this morning. *added w/a little sadness for the reason*
There is a unit of Marines from IL leaving for IRAQ today. They are gathering at the Arsenal for a service before their escort by several area Police Dept's to the airport. There is an estimated crowd of 5,000 people lining the streets waving flags.
There are a couple of young men from our area in the same unit.

Our military men and women are proud to be serving our country, so I am proud of them and what they are sacrificing for us.
I am praying that each and every one of our brave men and women return home safe, no matter where they are from, or whether they are overseas or on bases here. I respect what they are doing, so we can continue to be free.

Let's all continue to keep our troops in our prayers.

God Bless Them All!!
