Oh gosh, you made ME tear up. We have so many soldiers here in San Antonio. Some are so young. You can still see the child in them and you just know how proud their parents have to be of them.
Nothing is harder in the world than having your baby go off to war, and there's no way to explain it either.
All I can say is that his Dad and I have never been prouder than we were when they pinned that medal on our boy. It was almost surreal.
Thanks so much for your kind words, DallasSun. It IS good to be back! :)
