I rather like the Scott brothers' "products") Which goes to show, Hollywood doesn't know it's ass from a hole in the head when it comes to anything military. BTW

While I'm reading his post to you, I find myself thinking how he's taking nothing for granted, typing on a computer missing some keys, remembering his last big meal, while on this side of the sandbox people are whining about not having the computer system they want over a 'routine business lunch' consisting of more food than your son probably gets time to eat in a day. My husband and I pray for everyone serving every day, as well as their families. Sites like this one bring to light the tremendous sacrifices being made by the troops AND their families. Thank God for your son, for the fine parents who raised him to know that serving is the greater thing and for this site. MarineDad, God bless your son and your family.
