I understand your concern, my son is a medic at Ft. Hood and will be leaving in a few weeks. God bless them. I teach high school and most young men have no interest in history until they get out and join the military and then it becomes some important to understand the past in order to live in the future. I am so proud of my son as I know you are of yours. I will say a prayer everyday for all the fine young men and women that serve the USA. God bless and take care.

I suspect my son will have the unpleasant job of retrieving dead and wounded from the field. That's wretched duty for anyone. Maybe our son's will have a chance to work together. I was proud of my son before he headed out. He finished high school with a 4.33 GPA and was working on his degree in astrophysics. Assuming he makes it home, we have a wedding in queue.
