My son is a Marine. He is the kindest, most compassionate person I have ever known. He is being deployed to Iraq in a few weeks. My son is only 20 years old. He just graduated high school in 2004. He is a kid still, he is not a soldier, he is not a killer. He plays games on the computer and still leaves his clothes on the floor. He has only been to another state on vacation, never to another country. He never even liked the air-soft gun he got for x-mas a few years ago. My eyes are now filled with tears, my heart hurting badly, my mind filled with only scary thoughts. I want to go with him and protect him. I am his mom, his life JUST getting started. He has the world at his feet. Why are we in Iraq? My son would do anything for our country, but this deployment is not for our country. I am not sure what it is REALLY for??? I do know that his life is worth more than this. He is brave for me and our family, but he must be terrified on the inside. I need help to handle this.
