I agree with your son...something someone once told me that has become sort of my motto for life: "Complacency will smite your @$$..."

Glad you got to spend some time with him!

Very very glad to hear your boy is safe, Peto

Hand him a beer from me

Stealth Hunter · 02-11-08, 05:22 PM

And one from me. Better yet, I'll drink to him!

Thanks All!! And I must apologize as we mainly had wine (a nice Burgundy with a real cork

). And then a little heftier cure-all from the great state of Kentucky.

I just talked to him on the phone (he chose to spend more time with his girl-friend than with me (Good Choice--she's a babe!)). His flight leaves tomorrow AM and he'll be over-seas until around December. But he's in pretty good spirits--considering... And I'll continue to think positive, believing the best.

Again--Thank You!

This is not a thread where I invite comments about how the troop surge is working or how this makes the war in Iraq justified. I have never supported the Iraq War and still believe it was a huge mistake.

God be with all the troops, yes it was a mistake but now that the damage is done, the troops, unfortunately, will have to stay on till there is stability in Iraq, I only pray that is sooner than later.
