Son Heading for Iraq

My son is in the national guard and will be heading to Iraq in October. His mom and I are naturally anxious about this. Join us in praying for a safe tour.
Thank you all

Re: Son Heading for Iraq

Thoughts, prays and congratulations.

Congratulations for raising a wonderful son who has chosen to serve his country.
Prayers for a safe trip and thoughts for your peace of mind while he does what he was trained to do.

All that together + faith and he will be home before you know it.

Chas

Re: Son Heading for Iraq

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. it might seem strange, but I worry more about emotional damage than physical. My son has a kind heart and I think him seeing his comrades injured or killed would affect him worse than getting injured himself

Re: Son Heading for Iraq

Your son and your family are in my prayers. You should feel very proud, you've instilled patriotism and love of country in your boy and you just don't see a lot of that today.

I spent 6 years in the Army Special Forces and never gave much thought about how my decision would affect my family. I'm now a parent, and even though he's only 8, I can't imagine what you, my parents and many other parents go through when it comes to a decision, such as the military.

Many times we call our men and woman in the armed forces heroes and patriots and they are, but I believe that parents, such as yourself are as well.

God bless your son and your family and I hope he enjoy's his tour.
