This father has learned what many have learned before him. There are many things you can give your children, but when your children give you pride and understanding, it is an unimaginable gift.

"As the storm clouds of war gather, at least I can look the men and women in uniform in the eye. My son is one of them. He is the best I have to offer. He is my heart."

Amen!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I found your thread in my "search before posting". This was really a great article, very honest and eloquent.

God Bless all who defend our wonderful country, and their parents who worry about them (all the time).

"But aren't the Marines terribly Southern?"
