Hi..my REAL name is Wendy. I serve in our WONDERFUL military....I'm in the Army Reserves. When the events, of September 11, took place, it stunned the whole world!! Such a tragedy to good people. EVERY military branch, was on alert that day. I was called to my unit, the morning this happened..at 3AM, the next day. When people threatened to "harm our country", I take this comment a bit personally. As a result, serveral friends of mine, INCLUDING myself, have been deployed to Kwaitt/Iraq. I was deployed in 2003...my unit was there for 1 year. I'm a single mother, and it was the hardest thing to leave my son, family, friends behind!! However...I'm glad I went. It was an 'experience of a lifetime', not everyone gets to 'share'. I pride myself in serving our country, as my father has served before me. My father served in the Korean War ( still very much alive and well!!) and me serving in the war in Iraq. NEVER stop your prayers and support for 'us'. That's what gets us through those' difficult' trials. Thank you all!!
