Kardine wrote "My son is in college and in ROTC. I have adjusted to the idea
but worry all the time. He is my only child and I raised him alone. Last
winter during the height of the
terrorist war I was in Key West. I looked around at all the wealthy,
arrogant
people there who had not  given up one thing for our common good. I thought
about my father during WW2 and what he did and the country as a whole. Do I
want my son in harm's way for these kind of people? No. There is more to
sacrifice than buying plastic flags and going shopping for the economy."

thank you for sharing this with us kardine- i also have a son, my only child
(by birth), who i raised pretty much alone & i can hardly imagine how
difficult this must be for you right now...my prayers & thoughts go out to
you & your son, that he remain safe...
