Christmas Letter to Your Soldier for Monday, December 10:

Friday, December 07, 2007

  

To my friend and sister in Christ, Chara Klug, (serving in the Army as a Helicopter Pilot in Iraq):

 

I want you to know that you are truly prayed over right now.  I have been so touched by your desire to serve our Country.  As you have shared with me your willingness to do this now while you are young and don’t have a husband or child to leave behind, so that others that don’t have to, it amazes meJ  Despite the constant negativity that can be thrown your way as an Army Soldier, you have remained strong.  I have appreciated your example to love others and to serve Jesus by sharing His Word and love to the soldiers that you serve with.  Be encouraged by His Word, Chara.

 

You are a blessing to me, friend.  I love you and know that God is with you each day, every step of the way.  Through the rough days and the great days, He loves you and will never leave you.

 

I look forward to your return and will be here with open arms to give you a huge hug.

 

I love you.  Merry Christmas, friend!

 

Your sister in Him,

 

Erika

Josh, Friday, December 7

Dear Josh,I love you!  God has blessed me with an amazingly brave and Godly man that I
will be honored to call my husband in only 8 short months.  A day has not
passed over this year that I have not thought about you and prayed for you.
Even though having you gone for the holidays is incredibly painful, I know
that the work you are doing is helping so many in need, and for that I am
very proud of you!

I know this year has been incredibly trying on you at times, but
your perseverance and strength just proves how strong of a man God has made
you.      

So often, I envision the day of your return, and I really cannot wait.  I am
excited to see what He has in store for the rest of our lives.  Thank you
for all of your hard work and for sticking with me and showing me you love
me despite the many miles between us.

Love,

Christen

Brennan, Josh - Letter to My Soldier

Dear David and Pam,

Thank you so much for doing this Christmas wish to the soldiers song. There are so many brave men and women fighting and dying for our freedom and we need to honor them everyday, but especially at Christmas.

My family and I lost our hero a little over a month ago when he was killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan. I know this would mean so much to me and my family if we could honor him and send our Christmas wishes to him in this way.

Please find my letter below and again thank you so much for this opportunity!

In His Service,
Jessica

Our Dearest Joshua,

You were serving your second tour of duty in Afghanistan when the Lord called you home on October 26, 2007. At 22 years-old your life was only just beginning. You couldn’t wait to come home to us in May, go to college and work at the police department with you Dad.

This will be our first Christmas without you. But we take comfort in knowing you are safe in heaven away from all the suffering, pain and war.

You will forever be our hero our beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin and friend. Enjoy your first Christmas in heaven!

Merry Christmas Josh. See you soon. Love you always.

Jessica
