Just wondered, the first and middle initials J.E., that's all. So, your son is second generation Screaming Eagles, now that IS tradition!

Jec is my initials and 41 my birth year. My son is not in the 101st. He first went in the Navy from high school then enlisted in the Army during that period he married a engineer and got his electrical engineering degree. he is a Intel officer and battle Captain.

Oh I see. I assumed 41 was the YOB. Did the reemergence of the mini-peacemovement bring back any memories? I was in grade school and high school during the Hippie Years. When it started all over again, I became furious and promised myself I would not remain silent and I haven't. The GWOT will not become another Vietnam. Do you feel cheated regarding the amazing military victories our troops have given us? To date MSM and Hollywood have not allowed us to savor the heroism displayed not only on 9/11 but on the Battlefields in the countries so far away. We were not able to savor a minute of it due to the constant negativity and whining? I feel cheated.

Your son has quite an interesting career in the Army. Is his wife still in the service or does she have to patiently wait at home and worry? That too is a very difficult job. I'm glad you can stay in touch with him. It is comforting.
