I have a son in the National Guard, he is an MP. He is deploying to Iraq in March.
Prayers to your SIL for his safe return, and to his family at home.
I've just read all of the other posts and tears are falling all over the place...I try not to think of my son going away, there is plenty of time for that when the time comes. I am very proud of him and all the soldiers at home or where ever they are.
