Please, God, I Don’t Want To Be a Gold Star Parent, Not for This (Updated) 4

Phillybits describes what those of us whose children serve honorably for a dishonorable regime try not to think about.

Addendum, later that same night:

Oh, my. I missed this earlier (it’s been a long week, and it’s only Monday).

    I sent her an email immediately after she left and my co-worker came back, summarizing the feelings I experienced during that encounter that I tried to convey in that post.

    For some reason, I just felt compelled that I had to let her know how I felt.

    I read that post today. It brought on tears. I can’t imagine her pain. I don’t want to. I know she appreciated the thoughts expressed.

    You’re right Frank, it has been a long week.
