I just got an email from my best friend Lamont who is now in Iraq serving our country. He is a Captain in the United States Air Force. To be honest I seldom pray for our troops and the war in Iraq, either because I am to busy or just forget to pray for them(which is selfish and sad). I mean I pray, but I don't really pray if you know what I mean.
When it hits real close to home, my perspective definitely changes. I had a friend from my hometown Bellevue, Nebraska who was killed last year by a road side bomb. I also have another one of my good high school friends serving there in the Army and is constant contact with the oppostion. There are many other troops that I know there, but just not that close to.
Lamont is in his final term and has already put his resignation papers in. He is planning on coming to the Philippines to pursue a career here after he is done early next year. He will be in Iraq for the next 4 months. If you have time please keep him and the rest of our troops in your prayers. Thank you
