One aspect not covered in this article... right now in America, higher than ever at any time, are boys and young men raised in a fatherless situation. These young men are doing amazing works; what a blessing for them to have older, wiser, experienced men and fathers to be there to gently guide them along. No. This is not brought up at all. The military does need its older men. These older men are an absolute blessing to one and all. I thank them very, very much for serving, again, in the Autumn time of their lives. These are not just heroes, these are men making an extra sacrifice.
God bless this good father; he never left his boys! This bears repeating; superb comment.
