C: Don't Forget Him...He's Ours



I'm pretty sick this morning thinking about our soldier, Bowe Bergdahl, 23 years old, in the hands of some scary people--because he is in service to us.

I just can't resist writing this to say to whomever reads it:. "Don't forget Bowe. Pray for him as much as possible. We owe him that much, at least."

I can't imagine what he might be going through over there in Afghanistan, but even if he is well-treated, his fear must be enormous. And just think, too, of his family. It is such a desperate situation. C

Amen. He, and his family, are certainly in my prayers.

When Gunny was stationed off the coast of Samolia on a ship, "Blackhawk Down" happened and the bodies of some young Marines were dragged through the streets -- and THEY SHOWED IT ON THE NEWS!! (I'm glad that that has changed some -- I know at least Fox isn't showing the video of Bowe -- we really don't need to see it, and I don't want to give the terrorists any of the publicity that they crave.) Anyway, even though I knew that Gunny was on that ship, when I saw that one of those young men was about Gunny's size with blonde hair like Gunny, it literally made me sick to my stomach.

That is what those cowards want -- to make us sick enough to our stomachs that we will give up and let them beat us! I thank God for all our military, like Bowe, who protect us.
Amen. God bless that young man and his service to our country. We must all be grateful to him and those who serve with him.

He is a brave soldier, but he is human first with all of the same fear and sadness that we all would feel in a similar situation. I wish no one had to ever endure such fear and despair let alone young men and women at war. I have a 22 yr old and would be absolutely beside myself to see him in that situation. Thank you for your reminder to pray for him, his family and all the others.

Bowe is from Hailey, Idaho, which is 2 hours from where I live in Boise, Idaho.

I can tell you that everything has a yellow ribbon wrapped around it for him. There was a candle vigil held the other night.

So many prayers. We have to have faith that they will help bring this young man home alive.

It's such a sad way for all of us to be reminded that there really is a war going on.
