May 2, 2011.
We woke Monday morning with the news of the death of Osama bin Laden. Hooray for our military for taking out this horrible person who has master-minded the death of thousands of people all over the world.
I wish his death meant the end of terrorist attacks. But, I fear a surge in the frequency of these cowardly attacks against civilians and military targets is eminent especially since the escape of so many of the Taliban prisoners in Kabul, Afghanistan. It seems to me they are gearing up for a deadly season in Afghanistan and elsewhere now that the winter is over.
Just a few weeks ago we heard from our son, a U.S. Marine, that he is deploying to Afghanistan by the end of the month. Now you know the real reason why I am fearful. My son was born to be a warrior…but his mother and father were not! So, now all we can do is pray for his safety and the safety of all our troops wherever they are stationed. And support them by sending “care” packages as often as possible.
Semper Fi, Lance Corporal Smith! Hoo-rah!
May God Be With You!
