[El Gato]

Last summer, the Army telephoned to ask him to return to that career field, and although he has a wife and another son (15), he felt strongly the need to further serve his country . He was immediately sworn in again, briefed, clothed, equipped - and sent directly to Iraq (and possibly on to ???).

He got called back after 24 years?! Wow! That is a major sacrifice and he will be in my thoughts and prayers.

"He got called back after 24 years?!"

No, El Gato, not "called" back - -
they pleaded "Pretty Please, would you serve again?"

Reading between the lines, they quietly must be summoning
all the eyes and ears possble to deal with the terrorists...
