| This has been a tough week in Afghanistan. We have lost some outstanding young Special Forces soldiers and my son lost a teammate.
Every prayer offered for our troops and my son is greatly appreciated. Thank you - your prayers mean the world to us.

Many prayers for the safety and well being of all of our troops in the war zones .... and for their loved ones here at home. I know from personal experience that the "waiting" while your loved one is overseas is very stressful. I am so sorry for your son't loss of teammate and friend and prayers for peace in his heart!

| Thank you my friends. We are not told any specifics on the missions but I was told he is leaving or has left for a very difficult mission. So I worry and pray and worry and pray. War is sobering and we could start a whole new thread on why we should get out of Afghanistan..but for now every prayer is appreciated.
Liana I promise to get my filly this week ( she broke and educated my Stoli/Flit Bar Beggar filly) thanks for your patience with me. |

| The prayers are greatly appreciated. We are able to communicate with our son when he is at the compound but when he is out on missions we hear nothing.
We did learn he was able to meet the casket and attend the ramp ceremonies yesterday. My son and his warrior teams are rough and tough beasts and it is difficult to see them tore up. Again thanks for the prayers and please keep Dylan Elchin's family in your prayers. I may be on here alot this coming months just posting updates - it helps knowing there is support for all our service men and women. |

Not only that, but the never ending burden of the constant worrying must be hard to bear at times. |

| The combat fatalities for Special Operations Forces equals almost 22 times that of convential units. And yet this guys busted their guts and hearts to be SOF. They are an incredible bunch of warriors. But as a country we have largely forgotten Afghanistan although our sons are still dying on Afghanistan soil. I am pretty jaded towards our leaders - all of them - both Republicans and Democrats. |

You have every right to feel this way, I am so sick of the whole thing, all our men and women need to be on home soil.. |
