Maybe it is my age (55) or that I am a grandmother, the youngest being 8 weeks old. Maybe it is because United States Army Corporal Matthew Britten Phillips was one month younger than my second son when he lost his life in Afghanistan just days before he was to return home. (story here: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=27729) My son dated Mrs Phillips a couple of times in high school and my youngest son had her for a teacher in high school.

Whatever the reason, I see a video such as this and I am overcome with an incredible sense of pride and sadness. Pride because our nation raises men and women who do not want to die, but believe the mission is greater than their lives. Sadness because I know that any one of them could lose their life while fighting for our freedom.

And even though these are MEN in every sense of the word, I see someones little boy. God bless them all.
