He missed some crucial training when his wife had their baby & the Army won't send him out in October of this year. I am so relieved (for now).<br /><br />It looks like Iraq in the summer of 2010 for him, too. :( <br /><br />I'm proud of your son, Jake, too. And as a fellow mom of a possibly soon to be deployed soldier (who is a husband & father)... {{{{HUGS}}}}jacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10866590026586669990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590052514394403336.post-2569637035511830472009-09-06T14:35:41.039-06:002009-09-06T14:35:41.039-06:00Yes, that is a nice post.

It's tough to watch our kids grow up, because we can't protect them the way we could when they were little. <br /><br />I know that it will be hard for Heather and Grace to have Jake gone. And I know it will be hard for you too. I can't imagine how difficult that would be. <br /><br />But we'll be thinking of him, and hoping and waiting for his safe return. And like Jacki said,.. You'll be able to say, "He's home safe and sound. I should have known."<br /><br />I love you Sister, and Jake, and Heather and Gracie!!!!Linda https://www.blogger.com/profile/02621759758383590695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590052514394403336.post-22772332755055016682009-09-04T18:48:56.135-06:002009-09-04T18:48:56.135-06:00Actually it took Jake the normal time to learn Kor...Actually it took Jake the normal time to learn Korean, ( was it a year or 18 months? I've forgotten), the rest of the time spend at the school was battling with his superiors regarding the knee thing. It was so frustrating for him. But then, the Military is like that.<br />Jake is a dedicated soldier and is determined to do his duty. <br />As they become adults and make their own decisions, that's when we worry the most as we have no say--not that I was ever wise enough to make a difference in the decision department. We can only love them and be so very proud of them. <br />I love you Jake and Heather and Grace and I am sooooo proud of you.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03600056896841452538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590052514394403336.post-51950953609421233442009-09-04T18:23:41.567-06:002009-09-04T18:23:41.567-06:00What a great post, sister.

Beautiful. <br /><br />This sucks; I can not believe we are still sending troops over there and I'm disappointed in our government for doing so. <br /><br />We love you Jake and Heather (and Grace of course!).katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592401463121063648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590052514394403336.post-92214230702342791402009-09-04T18:19:39.267-06:002009-09-04T18:19:39.267-06:00I kind of feel the same way.

Hopfully sooner than later, you will look back on this post, when Jake is home safe & sound again and you will say, 'I should have known.' <br /><br />We are all proud of Jake & Heather for what they do for our country and also proud of them as a family.<br /><br />If Jake is deployed... Heather I hope you don't have a doubt in your mind that we will all be there for you.<br /><br />I love you mom & I love you Jake, Heather and Gracie!!!JACKIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467525305608716400noreply@blogger.com
