Hope that you're doing great and feeling well these days, Sam! All of our fallen heroes will be respected, honored and remembered this Monday; with special thoughts and prayers to those of Kilo. All of our heroes, past and present will be in my prayers in a special way on Monday as well. Without the bravery, selflessness (and so many other qualities) of incredible individuals like yourself Sam, this great country could never and would never exist. Thank you Sam, Erin and your families for the immeasurable sacrifices that you have made and continue to make for this great country. Thank you so very much and God bless you. - Kris, a Soldiers' Angel from RI Hi Sam, Erin & Families –

I only just took a little look at what you are facing. My blog is about my daughter Sam, here in Australia and she has ALL Leukemia. Like you we are facing a battle. Like you we have faith and know that God hears our prayers and moves on our behalf. The blog they linked to mine was dated September 2007. What a journey you are on! I am so relieved to see photos of 2009. Love and Prayers Clare Hi Erin, WordPress did a link from your blog to mine so your situation has come to my attention.

Keep the Faith, and know that we are still praying; thank you Sam for your service; hang in ther brother, and thanks to you Erin for your diligence; if all women could love their husbands like you do. there would be no divorce, because the men could not keep from loving their wives back with the same unfailing love.

Insurance companies seem to say NO first and then when you knock a few more times things can change. (that statement is from experience)Sam keep working & believing, Erin keep encouraging and know you have a large cheering section.
