Eric has been through in processing at his home Unit, and the logistics are being worked out for transferring to Minnesota where he'll go to college. And he is still thrilled that he shook hands with his fantastic Commander in Chief!
But recently the possibility that his college education will be put on hold because of the war on Iraq has begun to weigh heavily on him. The Pentagon's statement that many reserves will be called up made that possibility seem even more real.
He is ready and willing to go if called.....his boots are shined :o)........but obviously, he would also love to go to college as planned.
To those of you who have prayed, THANK you......I would appreciate your continued prayers for him!
Congrats on the ability to take well deserved pride in your son Eric as he goes out into the world and makes his mark. Best wishes in his future endeavours, and rest assured that you have all the prayers of Free Republic's Canteen with you.
Sincerely,
Mark Ude, Esq.
