As a vet and mom of one son that spent eight years in, and another that will be going in next year,my heart breaks for these men and woman that are being used as political pawns. This is one area that I say a pox on both their houses. Just sickening.....
God bless you and your family for the sacrifices you have all made! I have many in my family who have served honorably. May God watch and keep over your son about to go in next year.
