The folks who don't know him see him as one of those steely warriors in an "Army Strong" advertisement. His beautiful bride sees him as that striking young man who (less than a year ago) was anxiously standing at the end of the aisle in the chapel and who (just last week) was smiling so broadly when the sonogram revealed their backstroking beanie baby. Joyce and I will always see him as that determined four-year-old in the lime green baseball cap running away to "the house with the rotten pumpkin that's drawn on" or as that fortunate yet unfortunate first-grader. But starting today we won't see him, not for quite awhile anyway.

God bless and keep him safe. Also, thanks to he and his family for their service to our country.
Godspeed James!
Hopefully Gen. Petraeus will establish some sane ROEs so as to allow James and his fellow warriors the ability to protect themselves.
Our prayers go with him.
Prayers for his safety and of thankfulness for what he does...
God bless that young man and keep him safe!
Bob: Prayers! And a salute! I have two sons in the military myself, and know that you are very proud, and on your knees.
