My son, Andrew is joining the Army today. His best friend, Govi (who is like a son to me as well) is joining the Marines today as well. I am both very proud and scared a very strange feeling. I asked him why? he said "mom, how can I support the war and not risk my life as well, it is time I put up or shut up.
Wow! Your son and his friend will be in my prayers as well as both families. Your son is wise beyond his years because he sees what the "me generation" can't or won't see. Your story gives me real hope for our future with this new generation. It also says much about his upbringing.
Bless them and you. Please give them our love and let them know we are fully behind them. You'll all be in our prayers.
Blessings to you for raising such a fine son and Godspeed to him. And thank him for us, please.
