Dan, I'm a moderator on another board called Marine Moms Online (altho there are some of us dads who are "allowed" to hang around), and I followed a link one of our members posted to get here. I don't make it over to this board much, but I was just simply overwhelmed this morning.
Our son is in the United States Marine Corps. He graduated boot in October of 2001, and is presently crossing the Atlantic with his brothers and sisters in arms headed for the Persian Gulf.
Well, I didn't just tear up - I sobbed. Thank you for reminding us all of what our sons and daughters, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers and friends and relations are up against. What a great service you've provided today.
This war has a human face for us. And by showing all these other faces, you've helped make family of us all. God bless you, and Semper Fidelis!
