Our best wishes... :hug:

Ironically, as I type this, a pair of Reserve C-130s are doing low approaches over Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis! Surely practice for deployment! :grr:

7. When you posted that your sweet son said,
don't worry ma, we aim low with the kids- I sobbed my heart out. No one should ever have to be in a position to have to make such choices. Thank the universe for your son and his friend's humanity, however they need to handle it and survive, just get home safe.
May he stay safe, and come home safely. He sounds like such a great kid!
How long has he been there w8liftinglady?
Can you please tell him I think him and his buddies are wonderful?!
Thank you much.
Stay strong.

V:hug:

15. you do know w8liftinglady regardless of bush and the war
we love the sons and brothers and fathers always. the reason i put so much of my day into learning and being informed is your son over there. they really do me something to me, and to the people in this house. we are concerned for them, and think of the sacrifices and horrors, and sadness that comes along with their job.

it is time for them to come home. bush is not a leader and he cant do this, we have proof. over two years of proof.

hope he is home soon. and stays safe in the meantime. i know a few over there, but they are pretty safe. it is a comfort

16. Every time I see one of your posts, I notice your son's picture
And I've always thought that he looks like a very gentle and sweet soul. I don't often have that feeling about soldiers in uniform - they usually try to look so tough or devil-may-care - but I've never failed to have it with that picture. He must be a special guy.

:hug:, w8liftinglady. It's a cliche, I know, but hang in there.

17. Thanks-the kid next to him is their friend-
He let them use his family's computer(for a fee,of course-those people are starving).My son was sad when they sent him to another post,because he worried about this boy.
