Our son's and nephews know so much better about what is at stake here. They take the risk with their life by their own choice. As a mother and Aunt..I want my son's and brother's sons to live so I can hug them and have them for myself, but if they see that life is not worth living without their freedom...well, death comes to us all..and I honor them for their willingness to to stand by what they believe is right.

Well said. What they KNOW is right. My brother joined the National Guard when he was 35--just before 9/11 and just before the age cutoff whatever it is.
