Forgotten War

That is what the war in Afghanistan is...a forgotten war. I know that the incidents there don't even make the news. That is why I am making a point of putting it here. It helps me to deal with my feelings and also lets you all know what is happening over there. It is so sad to me that deaths don't even warrant mentioning in the news--these are real people. Yes, our unit has once again suffered casualties. We have had 4 more soldiers lose their lives and 1 more injured seriously. It absolutely breaks my heart--there are children being left without fathers and wives being left without husbands. Please pray for all of them, as well as all of us who have soldiers fighting over there. We need all the support and prayer we can get. These soldiers are heroes--they should not be just number and they certainly shouldn't be forgotten.
