I worry about them, but I am proud of them. And what they tell me about what is going on there sounds nothing like what the media keeps feeding us.

Right now, only Toni and Keith are over there, but Joe and Jimmy may be going back. Mike is out of the Marines so he will not go back.

Joe is Career Army. Keith is Career Air Force. I don't know about Toni. She is married with a kid and no college. She has been in the Air Force for several years.

Jimmy wants to be a cop when he gets out of the National Guard. I worried a lot about Jimmy when he was in Iraq. He had just gotten married and had a baby on the way.
