I have a son, and can only imagine what it must be like to see him go off to war. May he have a good and safe and meaningful experience, and come back happy he went!

My son spent a year there 4 years ago when he was 22 (23 when he came home.) He didn't have a girlfriend at the time, but he also said how hard it is on couples.
He is now 27 and getting married in March. We keep thinking he will have to go back soon.
I know how you feel. I'll keep your son in my thoughts and prayers. If I can help in any way, feel free to PM me."Chisel praise in stone; write criticism in sand."

My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your son. I have so much respect for the men and women who make daily sacrifices to ensure not only our freedoms, but those who are struggling for theirs.
