down boy I say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heal...............


This would be my dog on a long hunt with a bunch of friends.............

Here I am setting alone. I do not have much drive to hunt or fish or even get any of my rifles out to clean or shoot them. I have 2 sons, Gary my oldest son and Matt my youngest sons both have left for the war front in Afganistan. Gary is a trained sniper with the 101st airborn detached to the Kentucky national Guard that my son Matt is in for training there guys in the art of being a sniper. Matt is a bomb disposal expert and is deployed to find or detect IED`s and VBIED`s. I worry all the time about them but I know they are doing what they enjoy doing and there young and want to see the world. I never blame President Bush or think that what he is doing is wrong, I understand his purpose and agree with him on it. Both my sons agree as well and think there time in Afganistan and Iraq are worth while. I have had both my sons tell me that they have spoken to people who are there and they have told them to be glade there there fighting them or they would be here fighting us. I am working on getting enough money together to buy matching pistols for all three of us when they return next year and have them engraved with our names on them so we all have a conection together. My son Matt is not my true son he was a 14 year old boy dropped off at our front door and we where ask by his mother if we could raise him and we did from that time on he has been my son and my wife and I think of him as ours and always think of him as our youngest son. We find ourself staying home and close to the phone more offten now and worry that we might miss one of there 3:AM calls but we sure breath easier when we do. Our life has changed so much in the past few years with them serving away from home. When they where younger we always told each other that we could not wait until ther grown and do not have to worry every Friday night when they took the car and went out on a date or left with friends but now we wish we had them back and only worried about the Friday nights.
