I would think the situation is very difficult on the wife/mother back home. Quite a bit of sacrifice for one family. Thanks to this family and all who serve.

You know, with stories like these, it's not too hard to imagine that fifty years from now the military will have become a true sub-culture within our nation with people being born into and staying within it their entire lives- all their values rooted in the military and warfare. Whole families being deployed in uniform, fighting alongside each other... A warrior class of people. It's like some kind of sci-fi story.

Hi, thanx for posting that......I fwded the photo around to some of my acqaintances, I think they'll be impressed. Sort of like a modern-day Sullivans (the five Irish-American sailors who were all killed in the same cruiser in Ironbottom Sound during the Guadalcanal campaign -- they had a destroyer named after them that had a big green shamrock painted on one of the funnels). This is a real Green Machine family -- and their Guardsmen!
