This e-mail came from my daughter today. Woody is a friend of my daughter and has been to my house several times. By the way, he was in the same High School graduating class as the first Marine casualty from the State of Tennessee.
Janey, Woody's Mom, forwarded this to the college and young adult class at Church:
I just got this prayer request from Woody. I will forward it to you so you will know how to pray. This affects all our guys so please intercede for them. They must be so disheartened to think the enemy will be let go after losing so many lives, not to mention the danger they are to their lives to be set free to do more evil. Please pray for the families as well. This is not news to God, and He will know what needs to be done and how to do it!!
Thank you for standing with us and being willing to pray. I know God is hearing. Love, Janey

MOM,
Forward this to the peeps in the college class.
Last night we the Marines got some bad news. The politicians want the Marines to pull out of Fallujah. This isn’t a retreat, Marines don’t retreat. The Iraqi government wants the Iraqi military to take over and handle its own. So one by one every Marine is pulling out. Thing is, we have all the bad guys cornered in the gauntlet. Once the Iraqis take over, the gauntlet will reopen and set the beasts free. We, of course, want to finish it while we have them backed into the corner, but the politicians won’t let us. This means hundreds of men died for something they're just going to let the Iraqis take over .The Iraqi army sucks. I can tell you first hand. They retreated when the fighting began. So what on earth is going to happen when we let them in Fallajuh?
Well I hope our brothers didn’t die in vain and the Iraqis finish the job. Right now I’m very bitter and ticked off as you can imagine.
Please pray for us as they open the gauntlet up and reverse all the hard work the Marines have done. Love you guys!
