I remember getting my 10 year old son a WWII helmet at a garage sale and he would get dressed up as a soldier with his BB gun and play war. I had a premonition at that time and 8 years later he was jumping out of planes and helicopters with the 82nd Airborne Division. Two years after that he was in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thank God he came home in one piece.
God bless you & your son.
My son wore camo to first grade, played with airsoft guns and became an Army Ranger. He too, thankfully, came home and just wrote his LAST paper for college and is now looking for a job!
