My dear friend Darlene says good-bye to her boy soon. Isaiah is a Marine and will be leaving for Iraq in a couple of weeks for an 18 month tour of duty. We are all so proud of him. His mom loved this song and sent it to him: he in turn created this youtube for her to share his life with her since his enlistment. She has only seen him twice in almost 2 years. The pictures are of Isaiah, his sister and nephew, their family, and all of his brothers in the corps. As you can see, he is a beautiful young man. He sent her apologies for the occasional "finger" but hey, that is life with the guys.
This video gives me goosebumps--the quote at the end sums up Isaiah to a tea.
Isiah--we are all so proud of you and all that you stand for. God Speed, and God Bless.

So touching. I'm sure she loved it.
while I don't understand or necessarily agree with the policy that puts them in danger, I have to admire and respect the thousands of people who willingly volunteer to become something larger than themselves; and to put themselves on the line so we don't have to. Its not really why they are there that matters; what matters is that they ARE there, and I support them all, every minute of every day. We enjoy the life we have here because thousands upon thousands of men and women throughout our history cared enough about our freedom to sacrifice their own. We should all be humbled, and remember how lucky we are.
