The local news has reported that more than 300 Pennsylvania National Guard soldiers are on their way home from Iraq. That includes members of the 56th Stryker Brigade which my 20 yr. old son Christopher is in. The soldiers are expected to land at Fort Dix, N.J., at 6 a.m. Tuesday (tomorrow!).
I do not know for sure if Christopher will be in that group but he has been inactive online for the last week so there's clearly something going on. Suddenly my heart is pounding. Please pray with me that I am soon hugging my boy!
Michele

I will pray for you as well. Your son, if he is on that flight, will be virtually landing in my back yard. The actual flight line is on McGuire AFB where I live--flight line parallels my street. If there's anything I can do for you/him, please let me know.
Blessings,
amy
