Yes you will. You will be so inspired by your son that you will find strength you never knew you had.
It will be hard at first; but as time goes on you will use his example of courage as a shining light and you will go on with determination and purpose.
p.s. Write to him lots, send care packages including your local newspaper, DON'T send chocolate (because it will arrive as chocolate soup:), and keep him well-supplied with phone cards.:)
(((Hugs))) and prayers to you & your son.
God bless our troops!!!

The support I see on this board is unbelievable and I know will help carry me through until he comes home.
His unit has leave until next Monday, so I'm scrambling to get a flight down and back to see him before they head out.

I'd agree..
Individual people like Zarqawi are "targets of opportunity", you go for it if it shows up, but you're not really looking for it..
There's a much larger agenda here than one or two men..

LOL! The new News Chick "Kimberly Guilfoyle" a/k/a Gavin Newsom's ex-wife drives me crazy. IMO, she's not very talented and conducts herself like a rookie.
BTW anyone know where Laurie Due is??

Is Kimberley the one that is like Rita Cosby? She does that type of show?
Laurie is with Geraldo on his show. I know because we had a Freeper Men thread crying for her recently!

" There's a much larger agenda here than one or two men.."Yep! And my note on the upcoming religous event is just a guess, of course. But I agree, something this big means an equally big agenda. Time will tell.

I wonder why so many? Some big force cornered there?Perhaps the assault is also a training mission for the Iraqi forces, thus inflating the numbers?

I would guess that the arrest of senior government officials and the loss of their operation to plant 400 Al Queda operatives was their first sign that something had gone wrong.. And the real beauty of it is, the good guys actually made the arrests three weeks ago -- they've had a good long time to collect info and arrange the timing of the operation.
