Learned something about our son the other day.
When he was in the Air Force, it seemed that he was deployed either flying missions over Afghanistan and Iraq (as a navigator aboard a KC135) or Ont he ground in Iraq almost every holiday season
It always struck me so hard and so unfair to our son that we would be at family gatherings, the entire extended family would be there except our son, who was serving in the Gulf war zones.
Maybe I was told and did not hear, but I heard it from him the other day.
He Volunteered to take those missions because he knew he was single and he would be taking the place of married crew members so they could be with their families at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Hard to believe someone so good is your child.
