Jessica,
I just read your book, "I Am A Soldier Too" all I can say is "WOW!!!" I read it in 2 days, it was hard to set down. I consider all soldiers who fight in war heros. Maybe even if they don't fight, just by being in war situations are heros. All of them!!! Sorry to hear about you friend, Lori. She is a hero also. I served this country for 8 yrs and was almost sent to Dessert Storm. I wore that uniform and that was a vow I pledged to do, was to protect my country. I never got sent, but was ready to go if I did. I keep away from the news, I have 2 pen-pals in Iraq and a good friend being sent to Bosnia in January. I am so glad the Iraqis took good care of you. God spared your life and I hope you are faithfull to Him for that. Stay strong and keep improving with your health. I love you for who you are and for serving our country. I love you in the Lord Jessica. May God bless you and always be with you and your family!!!!!
