Wow - please take a moment this Sept. 11 to watch this video. Three of our soldiers over in Iraq wrote this song, and it really is amazing. Take the time to give it a listen and pray for those who serve our country.
If I Die Before You Wake
God Bless Our Troops and their families.
[Note: in the 8th picture in this video, you will see a Muslim woman holding her fingers in what looks like a peace sign with purple ink on her index finger. In case you, like me, don't know what this means, my husband was kind enough to explain it: When the Iraqis held their first elections and the Iraqi people finally got to vote for their own government, each person who voted put their finger in purple ink to prove they had voted [to prevent anyone from voting twice]. This woman is holding her fingers in a "V" for Victory sign and showing her purple finger, proof that she had gotten to vote - this day was considered the day of "Victory" by the Iraqi people, when they won the freedom to vote for their own government. Cool huh?]

Oh...this was so sweet. Made me cry. God love all those boys.
(ps, you know you are getting old when you refer to 20-somethings as "boys"...)
LOL - yeah, and when you realize that if you'd been a little "wilder" in high school, these could be your sons. ;)
