Defending Purple Mountain Majesties

My friend Hugh, a fellow stay-at-home Dad, will be in Iraq for the next year. I have decided to start a blog that will have any correspondence that I happen to come across from him. It will be a great way to document his sacrifice to our country as a member of our armed forces.

I decided to call the blog Defending Purple Mountain Majesties because of something he wrote (see first post) as he was leaving home, in a plane looking out onto the vast United States and reflecting on the lines from 'America the Beautiful'.

Hopefully I'll be able to keep this blog up to date, perhaps with some actual writing to the blog from Hugh himself.

Please pray for Hugh, his wife Jan, his two children Lilly and Glenn, and his new child on the way.
