Just want you to know I'm thinking of you and Jamie.... I can't seem to find any words to express what I'm feeling... I'll be thinking and praying for Jamie's safe return... Hugs... WFEN
Jamie will be overseas between 9 months and a year...so they say. If Im adding up his time correctly...he will have already served 2 of his 4 years inactive as of July 2008. Add in the 4 months onto the 24 months...that makes it 28 months...give him another 12...that makes it 40? Right? That would only leave approximately an 8 month window that they could keep him past that year.
His wife will stay up there where they just bought the house. Her family lives there.
I will say it again. I cannot thank these young men and women who give their lives to the service.
I grew up in the time of mandatory military registerting of the draft. I don't think I have the guts to do that. So, these wonderful young people who do it...I think about them all then time.
It hurts the heart to know that this young man has served overseas and has sought gainful employment in the states in a field that would help folks and yet he is being sent back. It also hurts to read that you are devastated. I don't know what to say...just that I am very sorry. Prayers for your son's safety.
Janet, I am so sorry to hear this. I can understand your nightmare and imagine there are many across this lovely nation having that same one tonight. I am sorry for you all.
