No mother has children to send them off to battle, but to know that someone is appreciating the special people they have become and their constant sacrifices so that we and many others can eat a Thanksgiving dinner in peace with our own families is priceless. Our country is so fortunate to have these special service people in our midst...Let's take care of them in the future with good medical and mental health care so they can come back home and be happy here too.. We cannot forget their sacrifices, nor their families' sacrifices. Thanks so much CJ for posting this, we need much more information like this to keep our efforts in perspective.

I'm going to post this on my blog with a reference to this sight. Great post CJ. It amazes me that things like this never make the nightly news….or maybe it doesn’t.

It reminded me of when my son was in Diyala and a little boy approached him and said "Soldier can you give me a globe of the whole world?" He was taken back by such an odd request, but I reminded him that that little boy was beginning to realize that there is a bigger world around him than the terror ridden streets of Baqubah (at that time any way.) He also knew exactly who to go to when he had a request. He knew the soldiers would be kind and gracious to him as they had been since their arrival in the surge. I found a bunch of blow up globes and told Mike to keep at least one in his pocket at all times just in case he saw his little friend again. What an incredibly poignant and touching story.
