I’ve corresponded with @Remi and he and his family are in a dangerous situation. He gave me permission to share his conversation. I know we are a praying group, he and his family could use them now. Put them in overdrive.

Sending prayers up for him and his family!

My prayers are being sent for their safety.
My step son is over there, he is jet engine crew chief.
I got a tear in my eye reading this, I know the feeling, been there, done that. Plus, my step son being there.
 
Prayers for him and his family during these troubling times!
Bailey, maybe pass that along to Rev. I know he has a large prayer group as well.

We have! I'll mention it to our church group as well
 
Thank you sir, I knew you would! We have a lot of members over in that area.
I'm glad my son is stateside currently and really hope he stays that way.

I appreciate that. He calls every night, which is mid day for him. You can hear "stuff" in the background.

I know that is so scary for you both. May the good Lord wrap his protective arms tightly around him and those with him there.
 
That's an actual documentary of my bowels after late night drunken trips to Taco Bell
We just had tacobell for lunch that could be questionable later today
 
Well hello my Southern Brother
Hows everything going today Rock? Did you decide to rearrange the rockwork in your tank, or are you sticking with your current lay out. I remember you said you might change it up a bit

I am going to add more rock along the back, sorta build up the right side a bit higher. Give it a sloping reef ledge look with the 'tower' on the left for the magnifica.

We sometimes forget how Blessed we are in this country. It didnt happen that way by accident either. So many men and women have stood and fallen for us to be such a powerful force in the world. Of course we fought to better our nation over the years when so many countries give up on their dream and fall one by one to tyranny. It's refreshing to see someone out the US's opinion on the situation over there. I feel for Remi in that situation, having children too. All we can do is pray for those effected and hope that our nation stays strong and support our service men and women, no matter what.
