Off Topic


Most of you don't know that I have three adult sons.  Two of them decided to join the Army.  This was difficult for me, even though I had been an Army nurse.  I guess it's a difficult thing for any parent.

This post isn't about my sons, though - it's about a young man who trained with our youngest son.  Pfc Shane Reifert was killed last weekend in Afghanistan during a firefight with insurgents.  His sister has created a blog, and you can read it here: My Fallen Soldier.  Shane was a hero, and he gave his life for all of us.

My request is a simple one today.  If you are a praying person, please send up a prayer for the men and women serving our country right now.  And if you're not, send some positive thoughts. Our service members need all the support they can get.
