After the fall of Saigon, I disconnected from the pain and went about living. Now I have a son who’s bound for Afghanistan with the First Marines and they all seem like family. I don’t know which is harder.
IMHO, they are all family. The American family.
I wish for a safe tour for your son. He's in good hands with the Marines.
Spok, yes they are ALL family, we remember, we know, God bless your son. My tag line just has a few of those we were connected with, well, that scarlet thread is still connected and shall be until our last breath.
They were known, we loved them, not just names and ranks but faces, personalities, real...
Prayers for your son and his safe return. I know what you mean about all of them feeling like family.
