Many of you who know me and read my posts know that my son, a Marine in the First Battalion, Fifth Regiment, is in Iraq for the third time since this little party began.  Thanks, Cheney and Chimpo, you will never know how this has affected our family.  If you have been around here for a while you may recall me telling of how he was wounded in the initial "war"--you know the mission that was accomplished.

We got "the call" today.
