As the father of a fine young American who is about to put boots on the ground in Iraq, this scares the hell out of me.
The more you read about him the worse it gets. I feel your concern for your son, mine is on pre-deployment orders for Afghanistan. Jan. he goes to Fort Irwin for mountain, desert training, then comes home for pre-deployment leave.
Your son will be in my prayers.
Prayers for your son/daughter and your family. Rough days ahead, but God WILL give you peace.
