Originally Posted By Sara Tonin Wow, small world, I too have a nephew named Ian who's been to Afghanistan for 3 deployments in the last 3 years. Our Ian is a Medevac pilot. He's been grounded for the last 6 months or so due to a medical problem. But MM when I say my prayers tonight I'll remember both Ians.
Originally Posted By Elderp My prayers are out for your family, three deployments is a lot. I will pray for his safety and quick return.
Originally Posted By murfsmom thanks everyone,for some reason this deployment has hit us a little hard. Sara Tonin- my nephew is a medic, they said they were short handed over there and thats why he was deployed again so soon, he was stationed in hawaii.
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon Three deployments?! They can do that? Oh Stevie, you know you can count on our prayers! For Ian, his family (both immediate and extended) and his friends. And for all our men and women serving in the armed forces. God bless each and every one.
Originally Posted By iamsally I feel your pain Stevie. All I can say is I want this madness to stop. I thought I would never be happy again when I had two sons in Iraq at the same time. Everytime I looked out my kitchen window I would envision that black sedan pulling in. Horrible times. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you. We know how hard it is.
Originally Posted By melekalikimaka Ah, that's the great thing about prayers and good thoughts, murf. There's an unlimited supply! Sending prayers your way. I hope Ian, and his entire group make it home safely and *soon*.
Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Sending by best wishes to this young man for a safe deployment. Also, sending prayers to him and his family that he may come back unharmed. His presence is a vital force over there.
Originally Posted By Labuda Sending all the good will I can toward Ian and the rest of your fmaily. I have a nephew currently in basic who'll be a medic, SOOOOOOOO I'm certain he'll be headed overseas next year after he gets done with his specialized post-basic training down in San Antonio.
Originally Posted By SoThisIsLove He has my prayers and my grateful heart for his sacrifice for me, and mine. My prayers and love go to all of the families in the Armed Forces and the loved ones they have that are in harm's way. May God bless you all, Stevie. xoxo
