Thanks Dio: I'm pretty sure my son is one of the Marines in one of the pics. He's with 1/5. Haven't heard from him in weeks, but no news is good news. Showing me the pics does me good. Thanks -double thanks.

When I looked at the serious, confidant faces of those Marines, I was hoping that some parents would get to see Dio's thread, and know that their loved ones were totally focused on doing what Marines do - bringing peace to that sorry piece of land - and doing it with honor.

Please thank your son for me, and tell him that he and his fellow marines have my utmost respect and gratitude.

Late to this thread, but want to say thanks to your son for his service and may God help him to stay safe.

I mailed a copy of this thread to my Marine in Fallujah. I hope that by the time he receives it, Fallujah will resemble Dresden. Prayers to Ben and Derek and to all our GI's in Iraq.
