This date has a very special meaning for me and our family: With the days that went by, our son decided to join the USAF. He graduated high school in June, 2003, left for and graduated boot camp all before he was 18 yrs. old. He just wants to protect this great country. I am lucky that he is stationed state side (for now). I feel as though this has impacted me in a way that you don't realize it does. I have made a concious effort of all of the good people do; I realize what a great country we live in; even if you don't agree with the President or anyone else for that matter, it is ok. We have the righ to do that with out being prosecuted or killed.
