My nephew just spent a total of 12 months over there and all you can do is pray. The happiest day of my life was when my brother called and say Justin was on his way home. It's tough but everyone of my friends were supportive and it brought my extended family closer together....
I know what you mean. I am so happy for my son but will continue to pray for all the young men and women fighting the good fight in light of all the nay-sayers. Justin is a great example of America's freedom fighters. I am glad he is home safe for all your family.
