Heading to Afghanistan - D Day - May 3, 2010
I watch my little boy become a man right in front of me once again....He was dressed in his uniform, helment and weapons across his chest - there was nothing I could do but watch my son march off to WAR......
My little boy became a man that day and I couldn't stop it.....
After a week of having things in the air, not knowing when he was going to depart - it finally came....The moments that lead up to that moment did not hit until Rod march off with his unit, looked back and he was gone....I couldnt see my son load a plane, get on a bus - he just disappeared around the buildiing....
