What are you doing online??!! Go be with your son!:-)
(but throw in a couple more hugs from me)
He's back in the USA but they only let us have him for 24 hours. They will all have a 30 day leave in a week or so after they re-orient and decompress.
I can see the need for that in a way. We were allowed to go into their quarters while they stowed their gear when they got back. His roommate was hurrying to leave with his parents and was searching all over for something. Suddenly he stopped and grinned sheepishly. He had been looking for his weapon to sling over his shoulder. They had turned them in as soon as they got of the bus.
Thank you for reminding me of Hospitalman Nathan Martens, who was attached to 3/6 India Company 1st Platoon. His Dad and Mom are on our Gold Star Families forum at www.marineparents.com Cpl. "Wally" Anderson's Mom is also a member.
