Hello Nedra! I'm pretty new reading and posting here. Just want to say
I'm proud of your brave grandson and thank him.

My son did his four years in the Navy (based in Japan on USS Flagship
Blue Ridge) and then was in college (going for degree in film) when 9/11
happened. He sent me an email a few days later telling me "there would
be a slight delay in his getting an Oscar". His reserve unit was being
called up. I was very upset to say the least! Told my doctor to give me
RX for Xanax...

My family got lucky...they retrained my son to be MP (he made rank of
MA, Master at Arms) and he was stationed at naval base in Key West FL.
Not a bad gig :-)

His job was stressful, guarding the gate and checking everyone and
everything that wanted to come on to base but at least he wasn't over
there, like your grandson. I don't know how you function day to day
worrying. I salute Nathan!

My son just got released from active duty and is home with us for three
weeks, then he goes back to college. My heart goes out to all our
military families and I hope for a safe return of all their loved ones.

Denise
