Say A Little Prayer For Michigan and Ohio 
Sunday, December 30th, 2007

The new year will be a sad one for many families in Ohio, as 2008 will kick off with about 1,600 Army National Guardsmen from Ohio being deployed to the Middle East for the Iraq War.  They'll be going sent to Kuwait, and then in and out of Iraq.

Another 1,100 soldiers from Michigan will be joining the 37th Infantry Brigade Combat Team.  This isn't on your front page news (except for ConnieTalk!), but it should be, as it's the Ohio National Guard's biggest call-up since World War II.

According to the Guard, there are only about 300 other Ohio Guard members deployed there now.  I found far more info on their purpose and whereabouts than I feel I should have, which makes me uneasy, because I feel the news stations report far too much about where we deploy and why.

It is still a war, after all.  No one tells us the truth about why we're there, yet they'll tell us all the headquarters and missions and names. 

Please pray for our Ohio and Michigan soldiers!
