"Stepson serving in the War"

I have a stepson

serving in the US Army in Iraq. We took him back to the airport last Tuesday after his 2 week R&R so he could return to his unit in Taji northwest of Bagdad. He reenlisted 1 week before he came home on his R&R and will proudly serve another 4 years for our country. He had a good visit with his friends and family while he was home, but he was ready to get back to his unit. His comment as he left to board the plane, "I gotta get back to saving the world". He said that brief comment and really summed up what our soldiers, sailors, and airmen are doing during their deployment overseas. God bless our troops and the jobs they are doing to protect us. From a Viet Nam veteran who also served proudly in a very unpopular war. - Bary Litchfield, US Navy Veteran
