    Lynne thank you for posting these names. We are all praying for their families for comfort at this time. I know the US is grateful for the commitment that the UK has made to this war and feel the loss just as deeply as if they were our native sons. One can only hope that this will be over quickly and all of our brave men and women can hurry home.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    Every morning I e-mail my friend who lives in Staff. England.
    (she is my support and helps me relieve my vented up
    feelings.)
    I pray daily for the brave British and American soldiers
    who are risking their lives, and I pray for the families
    who have lost their children.
    Thank you Britain for being their.

    one of the last stories on the network news last night was
    the story of a royal marine (sorry had the tv on as background, missed the guys name) who was shot four times in the head.
    the picture showed him, helmet on. smiling up a storm.
    seems his was in a fire fight when the bullets came his way
    all struck his Kevlar helmet, saving his life.


    from the BBC broadcast,

    an interview with the youngest pilot in the combar arena, i think he was about 6 years from shaving....... he flies a Harrier and was involved in his first combat mission.


    god bless the Harrier and Tornado pilots.

    The UK (and the world) should be VERY VERY proud of the these RAF pilots...they fly the dirtiest mission profiles and pretty much get no recognition for it.

    Thank you Lynne for posting this; and how timely. Just this morning, when I heard that yet more Brits had been killed or held POW, my heart sank. I wanted to post here my personal thanks to you, your nation and your brave, selfless sevice men and women for their incredible support and their service. You Brits are ALWAYS there for us and I hope you know that Americans do and have always admired you for your courage, your dedciation and your unfaltering friendship. And I agree with Richard...can we borrow Tony Blair every now again?? No matter your feeings on the war, he truly has the strength of his convicions. Thank you Britain, from the bottom of our hearts! And Australia and New Zealand!!...(Canada, we still love you)

    Star,Tigg'r , Mollie and the10 Gallon Gang!

    And my Rainbow Bridge Furangels...Jingles, Cody, Fritz, Chessa, Satin, Buddy, Lizzie, Oliver, Squeaker, Moonbeam, Rosie, Ruby~

    The New Zealand government does not support the U.S. in this. They are sending no troops, just humanitarian aid.

    Australia is sending troops, though.
