Whew! Don't worry, you're still a cutie (okay, I'm lying through my teeth, but you can be fixed!) I'm very sorry to hear about your partner but I'm glad you're still with us. BTW, thanks Hugh for posting these!

Hey Sarge:

Get yourself well. We're praying for your recovery. As Hugh said, you've reminded us to pray for the wounded's recovery as well as for the troop's safety. God Bless.

Sgt. Lizzie – your perky platitudes in the face of such lancing death astonishing within the malignant climate of war are commendable beyond words. We not only grieve for the family of your comrade who died but for all of our men and women who continue to sacrifice their lives. Also, we wish the speedy recover of all our wounded not just with the physical physic but a higher physic and as Martin Luther said, “A higher physic …namely faith and prayer.”

Oh yes, you may also tell your doctors of a good and proved medieval cure for wounds. “If you run a stick through three [not four] toads, and, after drying them in the sun, apply them to any pestilent tumour, they draw out all the poison, and the malady will disappear.”

Hang tough but I’ll leave you with my favorite D.H. Lawrence poem:

Self-Pity

I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.

As an individual with a rare and debilitating brain disease, I read it many times a day.

With a gripping gratitude for your services and sacrifices, your friends,

Ed and Jane Hart

Hmmm ... okay, nothing we can't fix with a little make-up ... and maybe a touch of spackle. ;) KIDDING about the spackle!

wow! I am so sorry you got hurt and my heart breaks for your driver who didn't make it. You are one lucky girl, however, as it could have been so much worse.

I admire tremendously your spirit and positive attitude. It sounds like it helped you a lot.

Keep your chin up, your eyes open and be safe.
My hat is off to you.

O.K. Now my whole "MOM" worry and expecting the worst is over! You look pretty good girl, although I did still get the old tingle in the legs "mommy needs to fix it feeling". All mom's get this when a chld gets hurt, I am sure your mum knows what I am talking about! Hang in there girl!

Baby despite all your self depricating warnings I still say you are beautiful in all three pictures. It is in your eyes your spirit shines out through those beautiful brown eyes and I know you are OK. I wish I could have been there for you too. We will still be holding Christmas for you I love you!

I see that you did not photograph your new medals, please do that in the future, while in your dress blues or your Class A Uniform. Also if you get a little more rank you can include a sword on the uniform (I am only guessing about the sword). Modesty causes me to temper my comments but I will await that picture of you in all your honor and resolve.

Sgt. Lizzie,
Thanks for the pics. I am praying for you that you heal really well and that you won't even have scars. Who's worried about scars now Huh. That can be fixed. I am so thankful that you are alive and are doing so much better.

Hang in there Sgt. and get well soon!! Thank you so much for your service!!

Hang in there Kiddo!

While they don't grow back, they can sure fix them back the way they were.

Keep the faith....and do unto others, before they get to do unto you (keep running you scum, we're right on your heels!)

Best of holiday wishes from everyone at the MajorHousehold.

See you on the high ground!
