Moving our troops - looking through the window!

Our daughter works as a flight attendant for a charter company that has one of the contracts to move our troops. She does a lot of turns from Germany to Kuwait. This picture would have been taken in Kuwait. Her company gets our troops to Kuwait and then a troop transport takes them in to Iraq. This is a recent picture that she took of our troops. As these men and women serve to protect our homeland we need to keep them in our prayers!

MARY, We are safe because they serve!

IRENE, She loves these troop flights. She says they remind her of the boys back home. I told her those are the boys back home.

WILLIAM, My children have definitely given me a different perspective on the war. It has brought it home and made me realize how much the troops need our prayers!

TERAL, I was excited to see this picture on her Flickr as it does give us a glance of how a troop is deployed. With our son having had two tours I had wondered how they got from Kuwait to Iraq.

RAY, Those planes are the best and they get our troops in and out of difficult places.

LISA, She has loved moving our troops but clearly the feeling on the plane is different when are they taking them out as to when they are taking them in.

MISSY, It is so easy to get caught up in our lives and forget to pray for out troops! Our daughters pictures just gave me a visual reminder! How's your Navy son doing by the way?

NICHOLAS, Thank you for the feature! I do think this is what the silent majority is all about!!

MIKE, It is so important to keep them in our prayers, no matter what our politics are!!

IRENE, You won't even recognize the potato patch as it has a new home. It is still the patch but in fancy diggs!

WALLACE, Our daughter loves moving the troops! She prefers the troop flights over any other flight!

CHERISE, You are so correct! No matter our politics we all need to be in prayer for the safety of our troops!

KATE, With our son getting out of the Army this last June and our daughter still moving troops it is close to my heart!

Hello Marchel. We appreciate your faithfulness in providing us with pictures and reminder messages so that we do not take our freedoms for granted.... 2 of the owners we manage property for are deployed.... one is in Iraq and the other trains soldiers to ship to Iraq and other war zones. The least we can all do is pray for them. Thank you for posting the pictures from your daughter Marchel!

CINDY, I hear you and have a soft spot also! Our son is now out of the Army but has an Army Mom and two tours of Iraq I also have a soft spot for the families they leave behind.

PATRICIA, Actually my husband works for an airline so we raised her to be a flight attendant (lol). I have enjoyed the benefits but if you need to be somewhere on time it is often better to buy a ticket.

STEVE, I agree! With our sons two deployments I imagined what the transport was like but this was the actual thing. I don't know that she gets to see this that often.

BILL, I am proud of her and of her brother. Our son just got out of the Army this last June after two tours of Iraq. It was very surreal a couple of times they passed in the sky to and from Kuwait. If you had told me they would be doing that when they were little I would have told you that you were nuts. Our son is now a college student looking at a degree in engineering.

GEORGIA, We come from a long line of relatives who have served our country. We are actually not a military family but we step up to the plate when we need to. She LOVES the troop flights. They remind her of the boys back home.

DIANE, I have to admit it was easier for me to remember to pray when our son was deployed. I like to do these as much for me to remember as anyone. They serve us and we need to serve them.

SHARON, She enjoys those troop flights. She is feeling very blessed right now as she's scheduled to move troops to Japan and not Germany. I'm sure this volcano is affecting the troop flights as it is affecting everything else.

GITA, Having been a military Mom for almost 5 years I can tell you it is not easy having your loved one in harms way.

MELISSA, We are free because they serve!!

REBECCA, We have so much to thank our Armed forces for, those who are presently serving and those who have served.

DANA, This would be that same daughter? She figures she will do this for another year and half and then who knows what she will do. So is your sister still working at the South Pole?
