Best news I've heard in awhile on DU!

Could you post that pic of him again? The one with the other boy? He is adorable!

16. this picture?

I love that one too.It was taken a few weeks into his first Iraq deployment-he was still such a baby.

[Tinksrival]

23. Yea, thats the one!

That's what I thought too.....just babies! I can't imagine having to endure what these kids have at such a young age. It must feel like decades since this pic. Both to him and to you!
Take good care and enjoy life little pleasures along with the BIG ones.
