No way will I be able to watch this. My son’s job is to sweep for IEDs in Afghanistan. He loves what he does, and especially loves his buddies.

Thanks nuconvert.
Farley became...an explosive ordnance disposal specialist, or EOD. It was Farley's job to try and defuse or disarm IEDs, or improvised explosive devices.

Thanks for posting. Prayers for the family.

This really hits home as my son did two tours in Iraq as a 0311 (Grunt, one each)

We were so thankful we got him home.
He is now able to hold a full time job - and support himself with very litle help from us.
