Army Son Headed For Afghanistan

unwind2 · 10-16-2008, 08:50 PM

Well....after he came home 4 weeks ago from being gone to Hawaii for 3 years he is shipping out in December to Afghanistan to a CASH unit (similar to a MASH unit). He is at Fort Campbell processing now. Didn't get to stay here long. :( :(

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sweetie i am sooooooooooo sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pray for that day to never come, but if it does, I pray for his safe return back home to you!!!!!!!!!!!

Please tell your son that he will be in my prayers and thank him for the freedom that we have!!!!!!

Hold on to him as long as you can and take lots of pictures so that you may look at them until he comes back home to you!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that his stay here is so short. :(

Will pray for his safe return.

Please tell your son thank you from me for the service he gives our country. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the brave men and women who serve our great country. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Thanks for the toughts guys. We had 3 wonderful weeks with him. He rides and the three of us went for several rides and him and his dad played golf and went bowling together.

We could always talk with him by his cell phone while he was in Hawaii....does anybody know..?I've a feeling it will different in Afghanistan that we probably won't be able to talk. :-/

When I was in Iraq our Battallion (about 1,000 guys) was given a satelite phone and they kept it rotating and I got to use it once. I have a feeling you'll be able to hear from him on occasion but not nearly as frequently as you'd like to. Wish him the best.

Give him our best from here in Nebraska. We will be thinking of him daily. Look forward to you telling us he has returned home.

May he be carried safely on the wings of angels and may God bless him every day until he is home again, safe.

I'm sorry to hear about your son having to go over. I know the feeling, I'll be sending my middle son to Iraq, for his third tour next week. Hopeing all will go well for them both. I'm beginning to get tired of this war.

Sky - what does you son do whilst over there Branch? Does he think things are getting better over there?

landman · 10-17-2008, 11:44 AM

be sure to thank your son for his service for me.

socwkbiker · 10-17-2008, 12:49 PM

Thank him for me too and I'll pray for a swift and safe return.

Ditto on what they all said. God Speed.

unwind2 · 10-17-2008, 03:44 PM

Thanks Al for your service in Vietnam also.

I've kinda got the funk about this right now. It will suck not being able to talk to him much...I know I'm just being a whiney mom.
I have to say one thing. He has really matured since he's been in the Army.....moma has been impressed.

God bless him and all of the other brave men and women for their service to our country. We will pray for his safe return following his tour.
