I come from a very military family. At my father's retirement over the summer, I learned that my family has been in all five branches of the military. Luckily, I've never had to face one of them being sent off to war, but that could change since my brother-in-law is a nuc for the Navy.
Prayer is the best way of supporting our troops. Although they may not hear how much they mean to us, God will let them know and he will hear our prayers (whichever God you believe in). I think another important thing is that when they come home, don't force them to talk about what they went through. In time, they may be able to talk about it, but many soliders try to leave it in the past. If you have the opportunity, send an e-mail or care package to let them know that they are missed and loved...
