My son-in-law, a marine, returns from the war tomorrow (how fitting) and I admire him and all his fellow servicemen and women so greatly.
"A Soldier Died Today" says so much. Thank you for posting this.
As a little aside, a dear family friend may join my daughter and grandchildren when they go to pick up Daddy tomorrow. He is an 82-year-old Iwo Jima vet.
He and my son-in-law have emailed regularly while he's been gone. The mutual respect is one of the most wonderful things I've seen. Two great men....two generations apart, yet they understand and share something very special that many of us cannot fully comprehend.
I thank God for all of them and for their service and pray for all families that were forever changed by the ultimate sacrifice of their loved ones. How do we ever thank them enough?

Hug your son-in-law, for all of us, and a big kiss for our VFW brother.. what a great day ahead for you..thanks for sharing it with us..
