Worst week of my life. Seeing my son deploy was just horrible. Now the real wait begins, I guess. He has strong support from the Temple he goes to so that’s good. Those guys are so so young.
Best of luck to him in his deployment, and best of luck to you weathering those days until his safe return.
If he will be in Iraq over the holidays, my religious school class as one of their mitzvah projects will be sending care packages and letters to Jewish service members deployed abroad. I’d very much like his APO so we can hook a brother up, and give him a little slice of home.
I will earnestly pray for his and his unit’s safety.
Soldiers’ Angels will also be sending supplies over for the Chanukah if you would like we can add him to our list or make sure his chaplain gets supplies.
