I’m afraid you’re right on. Right after 9/11, all the flags were flying, yellow ribbons on vehicles, there was a good feeling of “Get ‘r Done!” in the air and then my wife said, “I wonder how long it’ll be before the whining, moaning and bitching starts and the flags and ribbons come off the cars this time...”.
She was right on. We’re sojourners of the 60s, she a Navy brat and myself having served in the Navy during those times so we had this gut feeling...
My tag line is for my boy.
I for one will always remember the 3rd ID's legendary "Thunder Run" through Baghdad. Dad.
Regards to you and your son.
