'My daughter the fighter'
![]() My daughter Joyell Riley is a translator with the Marine corp. She is embedded with an infantry unit in central Baghdad. We worry everyday about her. She is in one of the most dangerous regions of Iraq. Her unit was recently pinned down by gunfire. There are only a few women translators and only three that we know of are embedded with fighting units. Please pray for her safety. -- Brenda Porter from Bellevue, Ohio
Thank you for your sacrifices and please tell your daughter that there are many people here (like myself) who are proud of her, I will be praying for her safety, and for her quick return. God Bless you and your family.
