I watched my son board his plane today on his way back to Iraq after his 18 days leave.

About the Soldier
Weekly Quote
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.
~Thomas Paine, 1776

I hope you and him had a wonderful 18 days. Your son will be in my prayers. He will soon be home for good.
