The husband of a friend of ours is in Kuwait right now, doing some sort of work with a private contractor, not even his wife really knows what it is. They have three children. The oldest son graduated from the Air Force Academy, and has been to the Persian Gulf twice doing work related to missles. Their only daughter graduated from West Point, and returned this past summer from a extended tour of duty with her Stryker brigade in Iraq. Their youngest son graduated from Annapolis, and was going to be a Naval aviator, but a physical problem cropped up, and instead he’s doing Information Security at the Pentagon. The Dad is a retired Army Major, who flew attack helicopters in Vietnam, and he really wanted to be able to do something for the US in this war. I guess he got his opportunity! He’s due home in March, and I can’t wait to hear his stories! I hope he got to see the President!
What an incredible family, Suzi .. God bless them.
I hope he got to see the President, too.
