When h...My son is a Naval Officer serving in Iraq. When he was "chosen" for this duty, he was angry as he had just begun shore duty after 2 deployments to the Gulf.<br /><br />After nine months of service, I am amazed at his change in attitude as he is very proud of the accomplihments he and his fellow Naval officers have made. I am very proud of his work in that it means many of the servicemen he serves with will come home, hope fully with as many body parts as when they arrived. The fact that these kids will return home is what has kept me sane during this unsual deployment.<br /><br />You will undoubtedly add to that number. You sound like a very competent young man so I am sure at the end of this tour, you will be equally proud of the accomplihments the Navy continues to bring to this theater.<br /><br />As a dad I still miss those everyday moments you discussed. And that is one of the reasons we remain eternally grateful of your service and the men you are there to support.<br /><br />I look forward to following your deployment.
