Wow, ohio...I am blown away. You have written such a beautiful tribute to your son. I can feel both the pride and agony you must feel through your words. And you are so right...we seldom think of the individuals that make up our troops; rather we just think of them as...troops.

This really brings home the sacrifices the young men and women are making for this country and certainly the sacrifices the parents are making as well. The Army and this country will be well served by your son, Eric. Our country is truly blessed to have upstanding young men such as your son. And we are blessed to have you, as well! Thank you for posting this. I suggest you send it to the President and First Lady.

Don't listen to the minority creeps...their ignorance is obvious.
