My Son
Ladies and Gentlemen
I beg your indulgence..
Tomorrow my son departs these safe sky's for a 3 month detachment to Afghanistan.
Both he and his fellow crewmen are entering a theater of operations that is new to them but a vital life line to many of our ground troops on the front line.
As a parent I can only pray that he will return safely....As a man who knows his son I am confident that he will do his duty to his crew and to his brothers in arms on the ground.
I wish his fellow crewmen a safe trip and Gods speed for your return to family and loved ones .
Trust in your fellow crew and keep your powder dry
Why do I post this when so many have gone before.......Every son or daughter is special and I just want to tell you that in my eyes my son is special
Does he know I have posted this.....NO he would be mortified !!!
I thank you for your time and for allowing me to vent off a little pressure
A very proud
Dad
ps Bugger now I have some thing in my eye.......
