Milblogs

I recently responded to the milblog website. I wish I had known this site existed sooner. The blogs of the soldiers were so touching, sad, and yet had hope in them. I enjoyed reading them immensely; they were so personal and informative. I never thought about contacting soldiers via internet. I felt like I couldn’t say enough to them, and that I couldn’t thank them enough, but I knew that if I were in their shoes, any response would help. I responded to a soldier who had posttraumatic stress disorder and told him how sorry I was and that my prayers were with him. I also read about a soldier whose friend named Ski was in a coma, and how compassionate he was even during combat, but thankfully is back to normal. Reading these blogs renewed my sense of what is actually going on in the world, seeing as how the media has been seemingly slipping slowly away from the war.
