Our Son is USMC E-4 Motor T, deployed to Afghanistan last week.

A heartfelt Thank You to each of you for your service!

Update 11/11/10:

Our son returned from Afghanistan in July with a Purple Heart. They hit 3 roadside bombs during this tour. We are so thankful that he is out of there and back in Okinawa for the remainder of his enlistment!

Thanks again to all who have put themselves in harm's way.

"A veteran is someone who at one point in their life wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount of 'up to and including my life'". For that, we are eternally grateful.
