Today I Prayed for Those in Flight~

This afternoon I was leaving to go run a few errands. There within earshot I heard the familiar sounds of helicopters over head. I paused, looked up and counted at least four, maybe five Blackhawk Army Helicopters.

I don't know why, but I was inspired to say a prayer for those men and personnel aboard those copters, just because I had the feeling they were on an important mission to be flying altogether. I want you to know I said a prayer in my heart and mind, asking God to please protect, and watch over those who were going to wherever they were assigned. And for there families to be comforted until they safely return to them.

It was a feeling of love for those who serve not just me, but our God and country so that I can worship and enjoy the blessings of this free land. Free in the sense, of freedom to worship my religion, freedom of speech in this United States of America. I felt what a blessing it is to have that gift protected by our Constitution.

Our flag represents this, our very rights. Long may it wave.


We lives in uncertain times, but the need for certainty in our freedoms reigns in our individual rights of the Constitution. It is absolute for our Commander in Chief to sustain the military to have what is needed to maintain the security of our service men and all the rest of us.

This evening I saw an article in the online Deseret News about the National Guard unit leaving Utah today to go train in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. There were 45 men deployed who will go to IRAQ, to help get suppplies and provisions for the troops.

God Bless America!


This is from the article in the Deseret News--I saw later this evening.

Members of the Utah Army National Guard's 2-285 Aviation Company prepare to leave Monday from West Jordan for a 12-month deployment in Iraq. Approximately 45 soldiers left Utah in their assigned Black Hawk helicopters bound for Fort Sill, Okla., where they will receive several weeks of training for their assigned mission to transport personnel, equipment and supplies in the U.S. Central Command area of operations.
