Your nephew's (and your family's) sacrifice is so precious to me. In a very personal way. Just a few days ago, my nephew, who is a Marine stationed at camp Pendelton, was told to get his will and Power of Attourney completed. All leaves have been cancelled, and 90% of the group he is in will be re-deployed to "who knows what location." I talked with him this afternoon, and his attidude -- for a 19 year old -- really inspires me. But still, I worry.
I pray that your nephew has a full recovery.
It seems the press has impeccable timing as usual, offering criticism of the war effort just before our most desperate hours. I pray for your nephew as well and for all our beloved servicemen and women in harm's way.
