lilmsattitude answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 11:50 pm: If you can cook, send cookies, or have someone help you make them. They don't last long in the military, and they come from the heart, and he doesn't have to drag them home, and he can keep them all to himself if he wants.

texangirl01 answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 6:15 pm: just know that your brother is always going to be right there with you and that he is over there fighting right now so that you can live your life in a safe world and not have to worry about problems when ever you step out your front door. He loves you and i msure he is thinking of you just as uch as you are of him. Since he is in another country it is hard to keep in touch. Just keep a picture of him always close to you and know that he will be home soon! [ texangirl01's advice column | Ask texangirl01 A Question ]
reflektionofme answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 6:08 pm: Theres no way not to worry. Your always going to worry and have that feeling... i know. Write him letters, it will encourage him a lot. Does he know that you wrote a paper on him? Telling him that or sending him a copy can really make him feel better.
Try to keep yourself busy. It will help not to think about it. Hanging out with your friends, school, clubs and sports are all good ways of keeping busy.
Just remember, he is trained for what he does. They wouldnt send him over there, if he didnt know what he was doing. Just pray for his safety and all of our soldiers, I know I will.
Mercy_x_Me answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 6:06 pm: omg sweetie, it must be so hard. There is no way to stop worrying about him. Its a good sign you are worrying b/c it means you love him and you care for him. Not worrying is just the same thing as not caring. But you can EASE the pain, try thinking of the fact that hes sooo brave and hes going ahead and fighting for your country, know that he is one of the bravest men you will ever have in your life. It sounds like you love him, and I will pray for him, and have others do the same. What you can do to help is start donations and things like that to have sent out to soldiers. If it eases the pain I know my aunt is always sending boxes and boxes out of just supplies for soldiers and she has tons of people she knows send letters. I wish you all the luck and blessings there are in the world, if you ever need to talk to me Im right here in my chair waiting to help you. So just sleep well at night, and wake up in the morning with a brand new day, breathe in, breathe out, and thats all you can do. Know that you'll make it through.
HollyAnn2282 answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 6:04 pm: well no matter what hun your going to be living in fear for your brother until he comes home. Theres nothing that you can do to make things easier. Just trying writing to him as much as possible and wait for his letters in return. Just keep your head up and stay strong. Maybe he'll get to come home earlier. I give you my best wishes. -holly- hope i helped [ HollyAnn2282's advice column | Ask HollyAnn2282 A Question ]
