This is just breaking my heart. Prayers up for all concerned, God bless them. My son was there in Haditha just a couple of days ahead of these guys.
One of those, there but for the Grace of God go I, things for all of us, isn't it.
Bless you and your son, Flora. I know this is a very hard time. Prayers up.
Your son and other young men and women like him are what make our country great, Flora. Thank you and God Bless them all.
Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas and a Great New Year.
I'm so torn up that I don't know what to think. I am in touch with far too many parents who lost their sons in Haditha, Haqlaniyah and Barwana, not to mention Moms whose sons fell at Fallujah while serving with the 3/1 Marines in Nov 2004. Just today I was conversing with a Mom whose son was in the 4th vehicle ahead of my son during the night of the ambush. He didn't say much except that he would tell her about it when he got back. Except he came back in a box 30 days later, from Haditha.
