Not all the brave leave the 'home of the brave' to enter battle; some are required to be the brave of the home .

These guys deserve our love, our hugs and most powerfully, our prayers.

'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.'

There are thousands of men and women who are overseas and don't receive support from anyone back home. You don't have to support the war in order to share some love.
