Our prayers are with you. I served and now my son and daughter-in-law are both in Afghanistan serving with the 82nd Airborne. They are due home in May also. We worry everyday and get anxious with every news announcement made regarding the losses over there. There is nothing I could ever say to make what your family is going through easier. Stay strong and God Bless and may Elijah's sacrifice never be forgotten.
