Such an honor for you to bring your story here..yours and your son's.

What war does to soldiers is an unspoken travesty. For all of time, this has been the story. We owe them and their families more than we can ever say. And never enough.

Good on your son for peeing all over that doc! 😆

Holding you in my heart.
