As the parent of a son who is a colonel now and two grandsons also in the army and currently in Sapper training........ I remember when my son was first in Iraq, then Afghanistan, then the Horn of Africa.

These are perilous times and my heart goes out to anyone who risks their own safety in ANY way for peace and for freedom in this country. We need TRUE patriots who risk THEMSELVES for the sake of others.
