Growing up as an Army brat and living close to the Vietman war (dad went 3 times) I've seen/heard a lot about PTSD.  My son is currently in the USMC and will be sent to war sometime during the first of 2008 (he still in training) and I pray he can "handle" the things he will have to do and see.

My heart and prayers go out to this father & son who struggle together along with other soldiers that just can't forget!

Let us not forget that freedom isn't free!!!

This is another reminder of the strain all of this is putting on our soldiers and marines... this is a ery difficult time to be a Soldier and these kids are being asked to do more than any other generation before them.  thank god we have young men and women like them out there.
