My son left today

Well my only child left this morning for Iraq. He joined the Army Sep 11 of last year.

I guess when he was growing up, I filled his head with too many of my stories when I was in the Marine corps and now that he is older, he wants
"adventures" of his own.

I am good with it, and damn proud of him. The wife is going to be a wreck for a while though. Keep him in your prayers please.
