Thank you Ryan for you and your family's sacrificing to keep us safe. God bless you. "vast majority" of Christians, thousands upon thousands, were and are now praying around the clock for all of the men and women serving our country. We cry when we hear of deaths and injuries, we care very deeply and seek miracles of protection from God for you. Great pictures, thank you for all of them and the info. Take care.

Thanks
Thanks to you, your buddies, and your family for your service and sacrifice. The day is coming when our (America's) remarkable achievement is fully appreciated and not denigrated by the vast majority.

Thank you
For protecting our freedom. May God bless you.

Going to Iraq was a just cause.

Thanks Ryan
Both for your service and the great pics. I found them while exploring. If you know of any soldiers from southern michigan who are still in Iraq and missing home point them to my pics. http://www.worldisround.com/articles/54892/

Blessings on your safe return back to the USA, though I have a different view on war, I must say your pictures are very eye opening. DM
