My son has been deployed to Afghanistan since March 27, 2010 and we are on the down side of this deployment. For those who have never experience a loved one in the military deployed to a combat zone - there are no words to describe what it's like for those at home on American soil. The worry, prayers, dealing with "river city" for OPSEC reasons, care packages and avoiding news media reports are a daily source of stress and trauma. I thank God for keeping my son safe and everytime he calls (which might be once every 4-6 weeks) I praise Him even louder! I'm proud that our sons and daughters are fighting for the freedom of others - as well as for OUR freedom. The old cliche says it appropriately "Freedom isn't free - there's a price to pay." God Bless you and keep you safe Joe. God Speed until you are home again with your family and friends.
