They were lucky that they weren't married and had no children to leave behind. Still it was hard for the family to have them gone. One brother served in the Berlin Airlift in WWII, the other in the same war only this time he was watching our other border in Alaska. Both were in the Navy. I will pray for you, your son & those you leave behind, and those who serve with you.....as I do every day for all our soldiers & sailors & airmen.

I can only imagine how many emotions you'll go through. Just know we're here. Keep the emails going to him. Communication makes things a bit better. I'll be thinking of you.

Been on the other end of that as a military dependent. My Dad served on an ASW carrier during Vietnam. Two 6 month Gulf of Tonkin cruises in 65 & 66 when I was in elementary school. It was hard for my Mom. As a kid though I lived for his letters. Still have them and pull them out every once in awhile. Looking at it as an adult, it wasn't much "Hey Bubba, How you doing? Me, I'm fine. Be a good boy and take care of your Mother" kind of thing. But they were and are precious memories to me. Good luck to you and come home safe. My neice's husband deploys next month too. All of you will be in our thoughts & prayers. I feel for you. Been on the other end of that as a military dependent. My Dad served on an ASW carrier during Vietnam.

I am hearing of those who are having to stay longer than they want. Who are having to stay in reserves which we know what happens there. When does it end these days?
