My oldest is a Marine Captain. In 2010 as a 2LT leading security on road construction projects in Sangin Province his small unit came under a night time RPG attack. Got a Navy Comm for repelling the attack, keeping his undermanned unit in control and calling in support. NEVER TALKS ABOUT IT - TO ANYONE. I had to read the citation. He says to me “don’t tell mom, I told her I just built roads”.
I despise liberals who generally hate the military but like to play make believe as if they have one ounce of the military’s courage.
Speaking as a mom.... what a good son! Please tell him thanks for me!
