My brother just stopped by

[libodem]

to pick up a couple of levels he had left in my trunk. I took him to airport, a week ago Saturday, to fly to Tennessee. His son is going back to Iraq on the 10th for 15 months. This will be his second tour. My brother flew down to go pick of my nephew's Mazda RX8. It is a VERY sexy car. Looks like a mini version of my old Firebird. Good taste in cars must run in our family. Bro hugged me and got all teary and said he shouldn't be driving it. I'm worried sick for my nephew but also feel like he'll be especially protected by our love and prayers. If anything ever happens to Nephew I worry my brother will make it his dying duty to avenge his death by doing something stupid. I can't print what he said but it would make the world a better place. If anybody understands I know it would be DU.

1. Sorry your nephew has to go back

I hope his dad finds some peace and doesn't worry himself so. We really have to put a stop to this stupid, useless war. I find it inconceivable that our troops have to keep returning for so many tours. Its ruining their lives.

2. Thanks Ozark

He's a real sweet kid, too. He hung around with my sons because he had sisters.

3. I'll pray for his safety

and hope we bring them home soon.

4. I can't imagine having a child in Iraq.

I pray for his safety and your brother's peace of mind. :hug:

5. The strain on families is hard to imagine. Your story really

brings that home to us. Will keep your family in my thoughts.
