My boyfriend is in the National Guard and is away for two weeks for training in Grayling, MI. That definitely doesn't compare to your situation! I'm so happy for you. What branch of the military is he in?

My little sister leaves for Marine Recruit Training at Parris Island, S.C. on Monday morning. I'm so proud of her.

I agree with Symptom of the Universe because I don't agree with the war, but I would do anything to support the troops.
