My son is with the 2FSSG out of Camp Lejeune. He mentioned going over again possibly in Jan.2005 a few mos ago. This is his second trip. First was to Kuwait at the beginning.
Semper Fi and Prayers to all Military families.
PS I just became a granma (son's first) in August.
If Kerry is elected and he passes the global test, as expected, these guys may not have to go. They will be replaced by the Russo-Franco-Germanic-Klingon Joint Task Force.
congrats grandma! Best wishes and prayers for the little new one in your family. And may the good lord with his Almighty hand keep watch over your Marine as he deploys to a land that truly needs our help to establish a fully functional democracy for it's people. I continue to be so proud and somewhat in awe of all our military folks as they perform in such professional ways in service to their country.
Semper Fi to you mame.
