Mary, let us hope - that nothing like the Viet Nam return - ever happens again. Thank you to all.

I have seen this video many times and it always brings tears to my eyes. My youngest son is there for the second time.The first time he flew in and out and was based in one of the outer countries. This time he is in an area north of Baghdad.I can tell you first hand that the worry at times puts me out of commission.He left in April and won't be back till next April. He is in a teaching capacity and it is difficult because of the language barrier. When he returns he will have 4 years till his 20 year retirement. God bless them all and those parents who have suffered and lost their children there.Thanks for reminding us how much the troops do for each of us and our country.
