Our Country at War
4/15/2003
We wish to take this opportunity to salute the brave men and women who have preformed so gallantly in the defense of our country at war with Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq. The behavior of our troops, their compassion toward the people of Iraq and their bravery as they face the incredible risks of battle have been truly inspiring.
While the level of casualties during the conflict with the regime in Iraq has remained relatively light, that fact in no way diminishes the immense sacrifice of those who have died in service to our country, nor does it diminish the tremendous risks that continue for those who remain in harms way. At the same time, the risk of terrorism remains an everyday threat to our homeland and to the people of America.
To all of you who have loved ones who have been deployed in the service of our country during this time of conflict, and for those who have lost loved ones in battle, we offer our support. Please do not hesitate to contact us at 530-7195 or 1-800-327-7195 if we can somehow be of assistance. In addition, we extend an invitation to those who are struggling with the threat of terrorism to contact us to discuss your concerns in a professional and confidential manner.
If you wish to receive additional information related to the human response to the risk of terrorism and our country at war, please go to our web site, st.alexiuseap.com. There you will find two articles on our common responses to conflict and how to respond to the feelings and concerns of children.
