I was recently working as the editor of a newspaper in Texas, and the staff was blessed with the talents of Thomas Peipert, a gifted photographer and reporter. Today I was missing seeing the U.S. flag, and I remembered a photo Thomas took. I went to his Web site, and it was there. There was another pic, my favorite that he took while at the paper, but I couldn't find it on his site. Thomas' father worked for the Associated Press in Africa or the Soviet Union, I can't remember which, and Thomas also is now working for the Associated Press. He's a great guy with enormous talent who will go far. Anyway, I thought I'd share this pic of a uniqe representation of our flag.

You're in them. I'll pass this on. Thank you.
FOR HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER YOU, TO KEEP YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS, IN THEIR HANDS THEY SHALL BEAR YOU UP, LEST YOU DASH YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE. Ps. 91:11,12

If it's possible, we should schedule a time when all of us stop for just a minute to offer a prayer for the Marines and soldiers. It just has to be a minute, but if we coordinate it so that we all do it at the same time, I think that would be powerful. For example, let's say we decide that at 10 a.m. each morning, we stop and offer a prayer. We'd have to pick a time zone to follow, but we could turn this into something big where we get as many people as possible to pray. Maybe it could be nine minutes after 11 in honor of 9/11. What do you think? I want the guys to know we're praying hard for them.
yes, yes. let's start right away. Help me think (ooh, I'm shaking), if you'll come up with the zone, I'll post it here and on corpsbog. Thank yoy, really!
Diana--How do you feel about doing the Central Time Zone? I'm Mountain. Central would be kind of in the middle, wouldn't it? Let me know!
hey mom de'on. i'm not complaining. its just that things are a little rough here right now. its awesome of you to think about us and pray for us. we can use it all the time. especially now. we just can't figure out what these people in iraq want. we only want to help. we're up for whatever they throw at us. we're Marines. watch over your brothers Austin. we need you bro.
De'on,
I'm sorry I wasn't able to answer you sooner. I had a lot to do today. Central time would be great. Just name a time, and we'll get the message out. Mark, don't worry, sweetheart. More people than you can imagine are praying for all of you. You stay strong, Marine. You do what you have to do there, and don't ever forget that we're here to help you in anyway that you need. You precious dear young man. All of you are important to us. Never forget that. If there's anything you need, just tell us. You are loved and respected.
Sweet Darling Marine,
I know you're not complaining. And I know that you all need our prayers and on my knees I've offered them, especially for you Howell, because you asked.
That means something to me.
Mom De'on
At nine minutes after 11:00 AM, CST, we will all join in a united prayer for our troops, and as my husband said, VICTORY!
God loves to show His hand when things are rough!
We'll never forget!
Let's never stop building this prayer group. The Marines and soldiers need us to do this. Oh, De'on. Tomorrow is Aaron's Marine anniversary? Doesn't it say something to you that we are starting this on that significant day? I have to believe that Aaron has a hand in this. How wonderful to know that Aaron is still in the fight for freedom. I feel encouraged by this decision we've made. It strengthens and comforts me to know that people are praying for the men and women in our military. As a mother, I'm grateful for any prayers for my son and husband. Thank you so much.
I am very grateful to you, Diana. Oh, thank you.
It was only when I typed the date for the unity of prayer to begin, did I realize tomorow was 10/21.
I've been so busy with this. That's something. I thought of it a few days ago, b/c his unit came home mid-Oct. 2004. We had a party for them at Roy & Lisa's. Roy had promised Aaron a party at his house when they came home...so we had one for them. Although they couldn't be there, so many were.
Please give my love to your family. You all are ever close to my heart.
With all my heart, I believe that Aaron is fighting harder now than ever. I believe that the Holy Spirit prompted you to start this, and for that, I can't thank you enough. No matter what else we do, this is the most important.
And as we say, we are always faithful, Marine Mother.
Semper Fi,
De'on
Deon, Diana, Howell and all of our beloved Warriors,
"AGAIN, I SAY TO YOU THAT IF TWO OF YOU AGREE ON EARTH CONCERNING ANYTHING THAT THEY ASK, IT WILL BE DONE FOR THEM BY MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.
FOR WHERE TWO OR THREE ARE GATHERED TOGETHER IN MY NAME, I AM THERE IN THE MIDST OF THEM."
MATTHEW 18:19,20
I will be on my knees, praying with all of my heart at 11:09 my time today. I will be honored to join this prayer group. Warriors, keep your faith and keep your heads up. We are all here for you and I know that our Aaron is watching out for you. God bless you, watch over you and send you his tender mercies.

Steve,
We are praying for you also. Don't ever think that we are not thinking of you. Please be safe.
