Harder To Send A Son To War?

Harder To Send A Son To War?

Please open and read the below article Kathleen Rodgers wrote. If you have ever served, the haunting memories of MREs, not being able to bathe, no sleep and living with an M16 as second skin come back in a flood. When it's just you, it is so different. As a mother now, I cannot imagine the torment of my parents. I feel for my dad who lost his hair and my mom who refused to use Nice n Easy. I can see from all POVs in this living novel: soldier, wife and mother. http://spousebuzz.com/blog/2014/06/son-to-war.html

As she says, it is only something happening to other peoples' families until it is someone you know, especially if it is your own blood. Pray for all those who have and do serve to keep this world free for whatever reason. I met JP and I just wanted to kidnapped him away to safety, but what IS safety if not for men and women like him? There is none. God bless them all.

Should anyone want to send care packages, please let me or Kathy know. We have his address. I am sure he will share in the abundance of our love. Some of the things I was most excited to receive in the mail was: Wet Ones (Huggies Natural are the best; holds up to whatever you are using it for), gum, power bars, ZipLock baggies (small and large), travel size shampoos, mouthwash, hand lotion and body wash, hand sanitizers, eye drops, tissues, books (lol), and chapstick. I am sure Kathy would be able to fill in the gaps and tell you exactly what he likes.
