Thank you to all who kept My Husband & I in your prayers. David and I have been very much so affected by this 15 month Deployment, However we are proud to say we DID survived Our 1st Deployment January 2007- March 2008

I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to remember him and support his needs over in Iraq- Christmas, his birthday and Valentines and the list goes on...

would have been so much harder with out your support! Thank you it helped me so much & it was what he looked forward to! But more than anything thank you for keeping us in your prayers.

Our Prayers have been answered - and he is on his way back to the states! He has already left his duty station and is fixing to be here ASAP! I wish I would be there for his arrival but with restrictions due to my pregnancy I will not have any welcome home photos to share! He will be coming to Texas as soon as he gets a chance, however

One more favor I ask from all: Is please take the time to honor all our men and woman who are overseas Protecting OUR country!!!

I would like to let all of our US Troops and POW's know that God is on thier side, and everyone here is supporting them 110%. We all wish for them to come back home safe to their families that love them so much.

Dear US Army Specialist Oscar Xavier Gutierrez of Raymondville, TX and American Troops, I would like to send my sincerest appreciation to each and every one of you for your valiant and heroic efforts to keep our Nation free. Your courageous duty to serve our country is overwhelming to all of us back home. We find it admirable to know that many of you chose to serve your Country and left behind your families, friends, jobs and all the other comforts of home. Your duty to protect us is an awakening for all of us to stop and count our blessings. Please rest assure that you are not forgotten. As a Nation, we stand behind you and send our prayers to you and your loved ones. We pray that soon you will be united with those that you gallantly left behind. We continue to pray for all the troops from the USA and abroad, to have endurance to liberate the oppressed. Take care and know that your service to us will never go unnoticed or be taken for granted. With love and peace to all. P.S. Xavier, you have shown our family that unity and love is what makes us strong. Be brave son, we stand behind you always. Love, Madrina

I am here at work or at home. I am always saying a prayer for all of you in the front line. I feel so proud of you and most of all your family your parent. How they spend all that time that you are away I feel so lucky that I don't have immediate family gone but good friends. Still I am always praying for all of the troops that are away and the ones that are just leaving. I pray for all the families because they as well need the prayer and support. But God is so good that he gives us strength and support to see everthing that is going on and wait for the love ones. May God bless you all and we love you all too.

As for my Hero: My husband Specialist David Omar Salinas will be returning - in March 2008 from a 15 month Deployment with only 14 day vacation from war. We are expecting our first, it’s a baby boy. I thank God for all the blessings in our lives and the strength he has given me as an army wife.
