[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 643858, member: 17461"] My husband joined the army at 17. He was born in Italy, and came to this country at the age of ten. That played some part in his decision. He did serve in Viet Nam. He was in setting up Communications though, and was not part of the fighting. husband says his military service made him the man he is today. He was often frightened, but he was part of something meaningful to him, and that changed and deepened him. He came home to demonstrations, and that changed him, too. husband says he would never change a thing about joining or serving ~ or leaving when he did. Do not fear. I just saw Laura Bush on television. That is what she said. That whatever is happening, we should choose not to fear it. It is what it is. Your son is a man. It is a hard thing, to be the mother of a man. Know that I am holding you so tight in my thoughts and prayers tonight. I would be scared, so scared, too. He must be an extraordinary person.
