Been there. Done that with four of them over four deployments that were at sea from 6 to 9 months.Not to mention workup cycles and visweps dets. It doesn’t get easier even when they get older, either. They just know that Dad goes away as part of his job. But it still hurts.
Bittersweet! My prayers are with all the soldiers and their families! Pray for real leadership and good decisions! Protect and Provide for our Troops!
….but, I can’t believe the politically correct photo of “Obama’s youngest constituent” on the same page as the on line article…gawd can’t they just drop him for one second?
Great photo, S.T.
Thanks.
We don’t look a thing alike.
(Lucky for her.

That is a precious photo, Anthony.
Oh man! The room got all misty. I think I have something in my eye.
Such a sweet photo!
Reminds me of when my dad went to Nam
