My son left for Iraqu Sunday

Geronimo is part of Airforce TACP special force team & left Sunday from Texas for Iraqu. He left me a myspace message Monday morning that he was in Germany waiting for the plane to take him the rest of the way. He will not be back for at least 6 months. His mother(my wife) is very emo right now. My hope is the war would end, but until then, all prayers are needed!
Thanks,
Jerry

I cannot imagine how it must feel when your kid goes to fight in a war.
I wish all of you a lot of strength.

I can't imagine how it must feel either. I hope he makes it through in one piece.

I hope he'll return safe. I can't imagine it either, but I don't think I'd like to imagine it...

You and your family will be in my thoughts. As a parent I can't imagine that any words can help during this time but hope the time passes quickly and he will be home safe and sound before you know it.
