A photograph of one of those you are supporting: This is my son, PFC Matthew Hazel, US Army, 1st Cav, D CO, 1-227 AVN, and his son, my grandson, Hayden Matthew "Bubba" Hazel. It was taken on March 3, 2005, the day Matt returned from Iraq. My beloved husband, David, was holding Bubba (who will be 2 years old this November) and handed him to Matt, saying, "Here's your son." Bubba, who had seen Matt via webcam while he was in Iraq, grabbed Matt's face and said, "My DADA!" I just managed get the photograph immediately afterwards. Matt is scheduled to be redeployed to Iraq.

You really should issue hankie alerts before posting those.
I keep having to explain to my wife why my eyes are leaking.
God Bless You for raising a son willing to stand the wall.

WOW!!! You have so much to be PROUD of!!!

Please thank your son for his sacrifice, and thank you as well!!

My grandmother had three of her sons in WWII simultaneously. It was very difficult for her. Thank God they all returned home safely. Many prayers for the safe return of your son.
