Welcome Home, Jim Gallagher!

I've never met Jim Gallagher, but I drive by this house every day, and seeing the flags that they've had displayed in their yard, both United States and Marine Corp ones, I know how proud his family is of him.

Even though I didn't know his name until today, those flags always reminded me to send up a prayer for him and the other soldiers who are away from their families serving this country. I was glad of the reminder, because it's so easy to get bogged down by the petty things of life, and those flags acted as a reminder of the really important things going on in this world.

Thanks, Jim Gallagher, for all you've done, and...
Welcome Home!

I'm pretty sure that Jim has a brother who is serving as well. We pray for Jim and Joe Gallagher every week at St. Andrew's Church in Gibbsboro someone told me they are brothers. If so, we owe a big thanks to them and their parents.

Thank you for that information, anonymous. I did see where they were both listed in St. Andrew's bulletin, and I was wondering if they were related.

Terry,

Thanks for posting the St Andrews bulletin for anyone attending church there (like myself) on Easter.

Hope everyone has a blessed Easter holiday.
