For those of you who are acquainted with my new son-in-law, Andrew Mitchell (AKA Grimm)...

He is now in Iraq.
Spookey is a nervous wreck.

His platoon has only been there for two weeks, and they have already been in 2 separate firefights.

Please keep him and his comrades in your thoughts and prayers.

I will coerce Spookey into posting his APO address here a bit later.

[renren]

Will keep them in my thoughts!

O benedictus Deus meus, Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad proelium
O benedictus Deus meus qui docet digitos meus ad bellum
Fulgora coruscationem peccatoribus et dissipabis eos
et in misericoridia tua disperdes inimicos meos
Eripe me et libera me de astris multis et pericli multis
O benedictus Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad proelium
O benedictus Deus meus. Deus meus in te confido
Eripe me et libera me de manu advorsarum alienigenum
Servo Terrae
Amen

O Blessed be my God, my God who teacheth my hands to war
O Blessed be my God, who teacheth my fingers to battle
Send forth lightning on sinners and scatter them
and in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies
Rescue me and deliver me from many stars and many perils
O Blessed be my God, my God who teacheth my hands to war
O Blessed be my God. My God, in you I put my trust
Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of alien adversaries
Watch over and protect the Earth
Amen

I would rather not post his address on the forum for obvious reasons, but if you want it, inbox me and I'll get it for you.

I also want to make sure my first letter and package get to him before I give it out to anyone else. There was a bit of confusion when he first got out there.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Sweetheart...

Post a link to his and your MYSPACE pages since he can stay in touch that way...

[lilaney]

Seeing as I just got my NCO Back from Iraq, Spookey, I am right there with you.
*Hugs*

[Angel_VII]

I'm so happy he made it back safely to you. How long was he overseas?

SUPPOSEDLY he'll be back in late April/early May, and if that happens, he wants to go out to Scarborough at least a couple times... But He'll probably be back next October. I don't know anyone who went to Iraq for less than a year. All of my friends in the Corps and Army had their deployment extended once they were over there.

[eloquentXI]

Keeping him and you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope to meet both of you at Scarborough come the spring. 

[LadyShadow]

I will keep both of you in my prayers.  I feel your pain I have friends and family there right now.  May the Lord watch over him and keep him safe.

congrats spookey! it's good to hear he made it home well! my boyfriend is currently stationed at camp lejeune and deploys in may, but he will be home for his birthday and we will hopefully be having it at faire. i got 7 months of hair-pulling stress coming up though!

[Ronald the Bald]

I am glad to hear it.

I will look for you tomorrow to say "Hello/Goodbye".

[LadyShadow]

Glad to hear he made it back safely.

Trigger, my Bro-n-law is at Lejeune.  He was supposed to deploy in May as well, once he finished up his current schooling.  But now it is on hold and they might be sending him to Afg.... instead.  But that is still up in the air.

Hope all will be well and he will return safely.
