i shouldn't have opened it, but i did. And now, i can't stop thinking how hard i hugged my uncle before he left for Iraq...and how much harder i hugged him when he came back fairly intact. It's very painful to think of how many families will never be able to hug their loved ones like i did...but i thank them, and their loved ones, for serving and protecting our country.

Now i'm gonna go sniffle in the enchiladas.



lizi -> RE: very emotionally powerful photos (6/16/2009 5:56:31 PM)

Damn, why did I look...sigh. I got my oldest back twice after he'd been gone for 2 tours to Iraq and I know I was lucky. He's been bombed amongst countless other things and personally saved the lives of couple of his soldiers. The experiences he has told me about from his time there are absolutely heartrending. We civilians really have no idea what it's like. Why I'm saying all of this I have no idea except I know I was very very lucky to get him back at the end of those two deployments alive and my most recent picture of him wasn't of his casket but of his wedding. It could have easily been so different...

My son is still in MOS, but I am constantly thinking about how I would react if he got sent to Iraq or Afghanistan.  That's probably why these photos touched me so deeply and I needed to share them. 



intenze -> RE: very emotionally powerful photos (6/16/2009 7:58:21 PM)

Thank you for the picture.  It stirs so many feelings I cannot begin to enumerate them or even claim them yet.  I do know this: it's time to wrap up this gang bang over there and come home.

Irishknight -> RE: very emotionally powerful photos (6/17/2009 2:40:29 PM)

I've been a military man for much of my life.  I've said goodbye to many friends.  It is always painful.  My heart goes out to this young man.
