The Soldier/Son has deployed
« on: November 16, 2008, 02:40:03 PM »
Doing convoy protection.

At least they have the new MRAP



Designed to take a 500 lb bomb blast at close range and the crew survive.

Harder on the dad than the soldier/son

Thank you for raising a son who knows that freedom isn't free and for your and his sacrifices for the rest of us.

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. - George Washington

The best to you both, thanks to both of you, and I have prayers for your entire family.

Is he Army ?  Thanks to him for his service. This part will be harder on Dad than Son, Son is busy with the "job" Dad is the one with time to worry. Don't, your Son is part of the most highly trained force America has ever put in the field, He has some of the best equipment available, and lots of equally dedicated, well trained and equipped young men and women to support and assist him in his mission.

Bless you both - you for raising him right, and him for being man enough to do this for us.

BTW - I want an MRAP.

And a lifetime supply of fuel, can't imagine it's very economical to run.

Daniel Webster

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

I all can very humbly say is, "Thank you to both you and your son and the rest of your family. May God Bless all of you!"

God bless you and your family for serving our country and keeping us safe.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." [Samuel Adams]
