From my 8yo's writing book while in Afghanistan
I had to explain to my son where I was going and why I had to be gone. It gets harder to explain every time. He's getting older and knows and understands more. Below are a couple of entries I found in his writing book when we were going through old homework. Very emotional for me and made my wife sniffle.
These are the moments when I am most proud of my son.
"5/22/08 - My dad is at Afghanistan and he will not come back until it's September 25th."
And the very next day, his journal entry:
"When I'm an adult, I'll be in the military and fight for this country! If I die I'll still love my mom and dad!"
Just had to share.

It will get even more emotional when he is over there and you are waiting for him to come home..... Thank You for YOUR service..
