You are in Maine, right? Why not have your family come stay with you? I am not familiar with Navy protocols, can it be done?
Mrs. Cut and Short Cut will be joining me in September. She's been too sick thus far.
I will tell you this...
I have never had to:
Leave my family behind...
Watch my children grow up through photographs..
face enemy fire...
Puke in a jet breaking Mach...(or not)
Sleep on bare ground...
Carry a wounded brother...
ButI DO know what it is to worry that my own brother would be MIA...or a POW...
I DO know that I am in awe of Uncommon Valor..
I DO know who I owe my freedom to.....
