A Grandmothers encouragement to me a Dad

O.K. That sounds weird, let me explain here before I go off. My son hangs out when he can with a particular soldier from the same unit (173rd Airborne Brigade) when he is re-fitting at his FOB. They mix it up a bit and and have fun with Xbox when they can. I guess they have become some good friends and hope they stay in-touch with each other over the years. Old Army friends are always good to have. I am sure Ronnie and Cheri will agree since they have been through a life time of service to our government.

I have made a point of making my views known recently and I feel bad because I didn't want it to get political but now it has since my last two postings. Our soldiers deserve the best equipment and support. I guess being out of Iraq is a good thing on a time line. I feel we need more troops in Afghanistan to finish the mission. If you agree then please shout out.
