i want to say first and formost that i am praying for you and your families every night. i think that the sacrifies you have to give for your country is immense and we can never repay you and your families. my father served in Desert Storm and i know what it is like to not have a parent, or both of them, for years. i pray that you shall have peace and that God will keep your family over seas and at home safe.
In Christ,

Hi, I just wanted to mention that i have some really good friends who are over in the Middle East right now and that when I graduate in May I will have even more friends that will be shipped over there. It worries me more than anything, but I have faith in our President and that he knows, along with his staff, what the best thing for this country is and that he will do his best to make this war a short and precise one with as little loss of life as possible. Keep your hopes up and keep praying for guidance and also know that all America is behind you and your family as we go through this ordeal.

I want 2 say to all ya'll that have parents and family/ friends out there fighting------ Stay Strong and keep hope!!!!! Everyone's prayin 4 ya'll... UR loved ones that r over there r great people who give themselves to keep us safe. I know it's scary b/c everytime something comes on about a MArine- i wonder if my friend over there is OK....... but like i said- we have 2 b hopeful- they know what they are doing and are awesome---- keep prayin and asking God for thier protection--- Bless ya brave peeps.. Niki

Let me start with this, I am against the war in Iraq. Sometimes people do things even though they know their actions will upset or harm somebody else. Thats why we have angels like your parents to help make the world a better place. I know it's so hard for them to be away from you. And I know that everyday you are wondering if they are alive, or are they happy, or are they sad. It is a really difficult time for all of us. Especially you. But stay strong. Know that your families love you and miss you, and they will be home soon.
My prayers
Sarah

Fist and Foremost , i just want to say I give my deepest gratitude and respect to all our troops. For children who have parents in the armed services try to be strong, this is a frighting time of uncertanity. Only I am sure your parents miss you and love you and can't wait to be home to see your faces.

dear,
small twinkle stars,
Being a son of nepali,
I want to give you courage
Endure,self understand,self control,
yourself.
Your daddy will come soon to meet you,
If he has gone for the sake of humanity,
Surely he will win...............

It's a scary thing you must be going through, but you must understand that your parent(s) are doing the brave and right thing.
Don't think you're alone. When your family is out there fighting for our country, they will be thinking about you with every drill, every step, every breath. And I will be thinking about you too. Your relatives are great, caring people. They are being brave. They are being heroes. And you should be proud of them. You can be just like them right where you are. You can be brave and look for a brighter day.

hey-
I know you're scared, cause i'm even scared, and noone I knowis in war. you and the people you know in the war are in my prayers.
Lauren- your friend in Christ

hey-
Man! I don't understand what war will solve! If anyone does, please tell me.

Have faith in god you'll see your parents again, Where their a will theres a way, Your parents are willing to fight for a good cause, And where there is life theirs hope, I have faith that your parentsa will be safe. God is in controll, not Saddam not Bush. Live your life to the fullest take everything one-step at a time.

i'm going to make this short and sweet, your parent is a great person, they are sacrificing their life for many others, and for that they are truly a hero.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE..DON'T FORGET THAT!!! Don't lose faith in God, remember, he is on your side. There are other kids out there just like you. You are in so many people's prayers across America. Remember to have hope, and that you are not alone, so many people care about you!! Don't lose hope for a better tomorrow.

If you need anyone to talk to im here.

Hey guys. Whats going on right now is really hard. its scary but kinda exciting all the same time. its mostly scary to me...ive never been around this kinda stuff, i dont know what to expect, and i dont know whats around the corner...its keeping me all in suspense. last night when i heard we bombed bagdad, i got worried. i didnt know what to think. so i just started praying. praying for the troops, the soldiers, the innocent people that are dying, and most importantly president bush. i couldnt imagine making any of these choices. So, i was praying and heard God just speak to me telling me not to be worried. you guys, this isnt a game. the only way were going to get through this is through God. he is our source of everything! the end is coming soon...war is a sign of jesus coming back. and if your not saved, you dont have much time. i dont want to see anyone go to hell. i want to see everyone in Heaven with me! if you guys have any questions about being saved, God, or anything please email me at [EMAIL][/EMAIL] ill be happy to talk to you. i love you all!! keep praying

You are not alone. You are in so many peoples prayers, and there are so many kids ut there just like you. Take care of yourself, we are thinking about you and care.

HI! My name is Mackenzie and i am 17. I wanted to write and tell you that you should be so proud of your parents for fighting in this war. They are very brave. Always remember that they love you bunches!! Everyone in the world is praying for their safety, and through our prayers God will keep them safe. So dont worry! We are all thinking of you and your parents. Keep your chin up!!
Mackenzie

I hope you realize the sacrifice your parents are making for you. They are risking their lives so that you may grow up and live happily ever after in a safe and secure world. I hope you will pray to God every night for your parents' safe return. I know I will. Always have faith in God's eternal plan. God Bless!

Hey. You probably don't know me, and I probably don't know you. But that isn't important. What IS important is that your parents are doing the most important thing in the world: defending your and my rights. Without the military, we would all be living like they are in Iraq. Being ruthlessly hurt by our tyrannical leader. And we would think that was right! We would ignore it! But, because of your parents, they will soon be free to say what they want, go where they want, and wear what they want. We take those things for granted.
