Interesting to write about and link you to view. Actually, I found several things, but I'll only make it one thing at a time.
Okay first the update ~ well after much searching I finally found where they made a brief notation that the bomb scare last night was exactly that a scare. It was a box wrapped up to look like a bomb, but the explosive team after further investigation announced it was harmless. Yet, they are trying to find the person who left the little package.
Now to what else I found of interest. With the threat of war and more troops shipping out the article talks about something other than hugs and well wishes some of the male troops are leaving their spouses.
At first when I saw the headline, I thought, man how morbid. But after reading it and also being an ex wife of a military man understandable not so morbid. I found it interesting I know it wouldn't be something I'd think about if I had the threat of my hubby leaving off to war if he could provide me with another child. Yet, for those who want more kids or children and haven't had them to date, it is a smart move.
None of us know our mortality and even more uncertain with issues pending before us at this time in our lives. Like I said found it interesting :smile
Quite true Jamie. As much as we may plan, we really know not what destiny has planned for us. As for those troops heading off to war, I would not be happy to be one of them or to be part of their families. My heart goes out to them all and their families. The human loss that results from war cannot be justified the way I see it. Sad.
You are so right Dr. D, I have so many good friends who are still serving in the military and I keep them close to my thoughts and prayers regularly and even more so now with events turning the way they are today.
