ReplyDeleteThank you for letting your son go out to war. We really appreicate it. I know it may be hard to lose a son but I hope your still hanging strong. You did the right thing by letting him fight . My uncle was in the war. Although I still have my uncle, I don’t have some of my other family members that I didn’t know. You should be very proud of your son. He did what a lot of men don’t have the guts to do. As my uncle always said “ If you don’t respact a soldier try being in their shoes and step in frint of the croud.” I wish you guys the best of luck.
