July 1st in Iraq: A Soldier’s Perspective
Written by Audrie Zettick on June 26, 2009
I just received this email via my church choir’s prayer chain. It gives you some perspective on the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.
“I try not to talk about everything that’s going on here cause its really hard,even to think about, and as of the 1st of July it’s only going to get worse. The government is pulling all combat troops out of the major cities surrounding us, leaving us “unprotected.” The rocket and motar attacks are getting more frequent, just last night we took small arms fire with insurgants trying to get on base. I’m not telling you this to worry you, I’m just telling you so you keep praying for me and everyone here. Pray for the families of the soldiers who have died here, 3 since I’ve been here, not from my company or even my state but the hurt their families are going through now!”
Please pray for our troops, their safety and for wisdom to prevail as leaders make decisions regarding the withdrawal.
