Hi all. I'm Jonsie's husband and just wanted to add something about our son in Iraq. I'm a reporter at the North Carolina legislature and you must know what the lawmakers did here for our son when he was home on leave. The leader in the Senate actually invited him to the floor of that chamber and asked him to address the Senate. He handled himself very well, neither of us expected that because I know that is an invitation usually saved for ex-Governors. He thanked them for their support and asked them to keep him and other soldiers in their prayers. He also got a rousing standing ovation when he was saluted by the House Speaker while he was sitting in the gallery. We even have the videotope of the Senate address. Those moments pulled all of the politicians together for a few minutes to salute a hero. By the way, it wasn't reported anywhere.
May the good Lord stand watch over him.
WOW! An event that SHOULD have been reported. Thanks SO much for sharing that story!
