What?! said...Nice, but I still disagree with the mothers serving in the military. It is very natural for all mothers to be with the children. END OF STORY.

lively said...Seriously? You're a complete jerk. But you need to thank ANYONE serving in the military for fighting for your right to be a jerk, even if SHE is female

marthana said...I buy almost everything except food and clothing from online auctions. Most people aren't aware of the almost unbelievable deals that they can get from online auction sites.
The site that has the best deals is hTtp://bit.ly/bidzh and I checked with the Better Business Bureau and was told that it is all legit. How they can sell gift cards, laptops, cameras, and all kinds of goodies that we all want for 50-90% off, I don't know. I do know that I bought my son an iPad there for less than $100 and my husband a $250 Loews gift cards for $48. Why would I even think about shopping anyplace else?

JESS said...Women serve no real purpose in the military, law enforcement, emergency rescue etc., other than in administrative office positions. They cannot perform as well as men and should no be compensated or recieve near the same benefits as men.

Alicia said...@ Jess ad What?- Really? You want to say that to a couple of friends of mine? Because both are as good with a gun as their male counterparts. The military is steadily becoming more dependent on technology and log-distance attacks. Completely gender non-specific pursuits that are vital to our success in conflict.

Amy said...The Moms of Military Prayer and Support Group (MOMS), is a group of mothers and wives (open to ALL women related to anyone serving in the military) of loved ones currently serving in the United States military. We gather to pray and support our troops and military families around the country. We support each other with hugs and prayers and share our experiences and ideas: traveling to boot camp for graduation ceremonies, or making it through our loved ones deployments. Most importantly, we support our soldiers, marines and sailors with our prayers, love and friendship as they go about the difficult task of protecting this great land. Although we began in Orange County, CA, we offer prayer and support across the U.S. Many unique and supportive friendships with other MOMS have been possible across the state;, connecting MOMS together. We hope to reach out to every Military Mom and share the experiences that bind us with one heart for our loved ones.
The MOMS stand firmly on the Word of God and in the power of prayer. We lift up our loved ones in prayer daily for their protection and safety no matter where they are serving! Unlike most support groups, we are a prayer group first! We can offer prayer, emotional support and military information, and more importantly connect you with other Military MOMS either through a local Chapter or simply through emails.

mabush1 said...Great "good-feeling" story. Serving our country is difficult enough on the servicemember but sometimes more so for their children. Kudos to all those in the chain of command who assisted to make it happen!

dreamclouds8729 said...and your comment serves no real purpose here, and should be deleted, because you make no sence what so ever and you have no real proof about women not being able to perform as well as men : ) Those women are out there fighting for this country protecting your dumb ass. Ugh nothing gets me angrier than sexist pigs like you.

tooltymfan said...Well remember that when your house gets robbed and your being held at gun point and that women police officer is the one that saves your life. Or when you or a family member is have a Heart Attack or other Medical emergency and your saved by a WOMAN.. I'm sure your mother would be proud of that Comment. Loser..

Stuart said...The people coming home from overseas should not be disrupting the classroom looking for attention. If they want to surprise their children or family members they need to do it on their own time in the privacy of their own family. Just like this little girl most children don't seem overly excited about seeing their parents back home. This nonsence is sensationalized by the press.
