I'm so sorry.
My prayers are with you, as well as everyone else who has loved ones fighting in the war. I am going to send your brother a card.
My older brother wants to join the Military. He doesn't understand how much work, etc. it is. He just thinks it sounds like the coolest thing ever, and now he's 16 so the recruiters can talk to him.
Kevin is getting into the police force now (he's going through the Jr. Acadmey), so I hope he changes his mind about what he wants to do. It scares me just thinking that he'd be off fighting in that war...
