That will be such a hard day for you to see him go. Do the youth have to do some military service in US or do they volunteer??

oh wow - tell him how much we appreciate him! And hugs and prayers to you, too!

Thank you so much!! and thank your son too...

hugs, The day my ds left for the Air Force I took lots of pics, and titled the lo "The day I hoped wouldn't come." The recruiting center didn't have enough parking spaces, and my dh tried to park in one the convienence store next doors, and the clerk in the store came out yelling at him that we couldn't park there, When we left I wanted a soda so bad but there was no way I was buying anything there! I find it so beyond belief that I am dropping my son off to leave for the military in a time of war, and this lady wants to argue about a parking space! Hope your day goes better and that you get to spend lots of great time with your son before he leaves, Where does the Navy do basic? will you get to go to his "graduation"? once again hugs.

God bless you and your son. Please tell him we said thank you!

Wow -- please let him know we appreicate his willingness to take a stand for our country and for freedom in general. Will be prayong for your family as the Lord leads... Well done - TFS :) -- kimB

I imagine that will be tough for you, and him. But you are obviously so proud! :D
