7. I would be very proud of a son that serves....

a country that has so many backward reasons for doing what they do... I have to wonder if the whole war thing wasn't a setup. Regardless, I would be very proud. We are pulling for you w8liftinglady!

[ScreamingMeemie]

I know Texas is a big state, and I'm not sure if you live anywhere nearby me (N. Houston) but let me know if there is anything you need.

[handmade34]

13. stay strong, but take care of yourself...

:hug:

[EnlightenedOne]

14. I really feel for you

My nephew is due home from Iraq Nov. 18 for 2 weeks R & R. I already have butterflies in my stomach just thinking about how exciting it will be for him to be home. But then, we have to go through the devasation of having to say goodbye again. Write as often as possible and send care packages. God bless all of them.

16. Adding to the pain

your post is NOT helpful at all. She did not drop off a child, she dropped off an adult who made their own decisions. If you don't agree at least just stfu.

[Fire1]

18. Ditto! n/t

[sufrommich]

19. Jesus, how hard would it have been to just stay out of the

damn thread!

[w8liftinglady]

20. yeah,thanks.you must not have read many of my posts.

read my journal sometime...study PTSD...study all the jobs available for the troops when they return...they can't even feed their fucking families.A contractor offers them enough to pay the rent and utilities,send their kids to college...hell,pay rent for their wives and kids...why the hell do you think these guys go over there?
Your post is unfair,at best.
Thanks for the fucking guilt trip.
