Paige Bennethum, 4, holds her daddy's hand as he lines up in formation before heading to Iraq. Credit: Abby Bennethum Some things are just not allowed when soldiers are standing in formation. One of them is 4-year-old girls.
However, there was no soldier stern enough to pry Paige Bennethum of Laureldale, Pa. from her father as he prepared to leave last July for a year-long deployment in Iraq.

My son in law is redeploying for third tour in the ‘Stans right after Thanksgiving. He has two girls 12 and 3. He was in the Army when they got married, daughter is prior Army so she knew what the deal was. Still, it’s hard on the family.

It’s high time to stop sending our boys into combat when the actual battle isn’t even acknowledged by the media. From watching the MSM and even Fox News, I would have thought there was no more war in Iraq.
I guess the news from Iraq is mostly good, that’s why we ain’t hearing about it.

I don't know if this screen blur is from their sacrifice or knowing he will be serving under a traitorous CIC.
May God keep him and all of our Military safe.
