He is like one of my own!!!

Here is a picture of a group of Marines that I have spent countless hours with!! They were all in the School of Infantry together and then some went into different Battalions. the two on the left is Nick and Justin!! They have been together since boot camp and the two on the right is Brian and Andy!! Andy is the on on the end and he and Justin went to high school together!! They have always been close...just now in different Battalions but are in Afghanistan together just in different parts!!! I got a text message yesterday that said:
"Hey guy, sadly, our Marine Andy and his unit was caught in an IED explosion today. He's now suffering from a grade 2 concussion. Please Pray for him!!"
MY HEART BROKE!!!
He is like one of my own!! Thats the way us Marine Moms do...take them all in!!!
Please Pray for him and his family!!!

Keep Praying...IT WORKS!!!

    Justin wrote and said an IED had gone off and three guys had taken a lot of shrapnel. He just hoped one of the guys would have his legs saved....Oh yes our hearts stop. they stop if only for a second, and we pray...we pray soooooooooooo hard. It hurts every time for every single guy...I will pray Cindy Lou...
