Featured Blog - Letters From Baghdad

I have featured this blog before, but am featuring it again - with a heavy heart - because I have just learned that Marty's son is being re-deployed to Iraq. Although he has sustained a back injury and his physical profile is such to make him ineligible for deployment, those in charge have decided otherwise and he is returning to Iraq.

"Letters from Baghdad" contains the letters Marty has received from her son who is serving in Iraq. Very compelling stuff. For those of us who don't know someone personally who is serving in Iraq this will help personalize the war for you as it has done for me.

Here is how Marty describes herself in her blog profile:

A MOTHER OF A SOLDIER SPEAKS OUT...Not One More Day….. Not One More Dime….. Not One More Life…... Not One More Lie! End the Occupation! Bring the Troops Home Now! And Take Care of Them When They Get Here!

Marty has another blog "On the Homefront" which also contains some insightful items. I urge you to check that out as well.

Please take a moment out of your busy day to look at these - and send Marty an email of support for the sacrifices her family is making. I also ask that you remember her and her family in your prayers.
