I apologize for causing such an UPROAR asking for prayer for a pen pal. I didn't mean to start such a ruckus on the group.
It may interest you to know though, that Sgt Martin is stationed in Port Orchard Washington. He is an avid outdoorsman and fisherman. We have recently been talking about fly fishing and fly tying. He has tried fly fishing before but with not much luck as he put it. And he has never tied flies before. He thought it may be a nice change for him to learn it as a new hobby to help him stay connected to his home and family. I have been working on putting a vice and some other things together for him, passing on some of the wonderful things that folks on this list sent me and Amanda when we got back into fly tying. I must say, some of the posts hurt me very deeply. Discounting any soldier who is far from home, for whatever reason, is distasteful to me. I count it as the same thing as a mother abandoning her new born child because it was not a girl. Go figure The reason I made the post was to let others know that a new member of the Fraternal Order of Fly Fishers was injured. Nothing more. So if you don't mind, I will keep my thoughts, and prayers to myself from now on. I am the way I am because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time while serving my country. I didn't ask for it. Wasn't looking for it. And Damn Sure didn't want it when it happened. But such is life. I will ignore the whole group if it makes someone put down brave young souls, (some of whom are interested in learning to tie flies and fly fish), and reduce these kids to ridicule and disfavored. Just remember, "you" have the ability to chose to bitch, THEY DON'T. Nuff said, and my last comment on the subject. Enjoy the basking in your own life, paid for with the Blood of to many solders. Always Remember, "Freedom is Not Free, Someone Paid for it".
