He's on his way....

He was promoted to Lance Corporal before departing today for Iraq. Today has been a hard day for someone very special to me and I couldn't be there for him. My heart goes out to him as his son leaves to serve our country. He is scheduled for return on October 2nd of this year. I'm not sure how large his unit is that was deployed to go over there. They will all be in my thoughts and prayers daily.
