God bless your son and keep him safe. And please thank him for his service for me and tell him that he is my hero.
Yesterday I received a "belated" birthday gift from him..........the flag that was flown over his base camp on the day my birthday, along with a certificate of authenticity, a certificate of appreciation for supporting the troops, and 5 pictures of him, including 2 of him standing next to the flagpole on the day of my birthday, under the very flag which I was now holding in my hands.
Made me cry, it did.:)
