IT WAS A NORMAL DAY AT WORK-THEN WE GOT A PHONE CALL TO TURN ON THE TV. WE ALL COULD NOT BELIEVE OUR EYES!
WE HAD SOME CORPERATE PEOPLE HERE FROM NEW YORK-AND THE EMOTIONS WERE RUNNING HIGH! MY OWN THOUGHTS WERE ON MY SON AT CAMP PENDELTON MARINE CORPS. I CALL'D HIM AND I GOT THREW. BUT HE WAS NOT ABLE TO TALK TO ME-HE WAS IN LOCK DOWN. HE COULD NOT TELL ME ANYTHING. IN MY HEART I KNEW HE WAS LEAVING MAYBE NEVER TO RETURN.
MY HEART WENT OUT TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE VICTEMS OF 9-11.
NOT ONLY THEM BUT THIER FAMILIES. I HAD TIME TO THINK ABOUT MY SON GOING TO AFGANISTAN, AND I KNEW HE WOULD.
HE DID GO AND WAS AT THE KANDAHAR AIRPORT AND IN OTHER PLACES. HE COULDN'T TELL US WHERE HE WAS ONLY THAT HE WAS OKAY-WE LEARN'D THIS WHEN HE WAS BACK ON HIS SHIP. HE SPENT 6 MONTHS THERE. AND THANK GOD HE IS HOME NOW!!!
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL THE FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE ATTACKS ON 9-11.
MY SON MY HERO
CORPERIAL JOSHUA HILL USMC
I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR PERTECTING OUR COUNTRY!!
AND TO ALL THE MEN AND WEMON (OUR TROOPS) I THANK YOU ALSO!
MAY GOD BE WITH YOU -
ALL OF YOU!!!!
