God, works in strange and wonderful ways:
"He can still see the bullet lodged in his scope, which was given to him by his father, John Bowers, two days before leaving to Iraq."
“The last time I saw my dad was the day he handed me the scope,” said Bowers."
"His dad was a former sergeant in the Marine Corps, who didn’t want to see his son go into combat without a useful piece of gear."
“The ACOG was the best purchase I have ever made in my life,” said John to his son during a phone conversation."
Now THAT was a great father-son "go to war gear" gift!
