I was at a showing of "This is War" which is a film they basically made in a very ad hoc way while over there and it is now on DVD. You can find more about it on the Sandbox posted by Eric Coulson April 16. I just wanted you to know that Ryan Howell, Ryan Tuttle and the others share your sense of loss. The entire 41st infantry brigade OR National Guard is going to deploy in spring 2009 -the biggest deployment of the ORNG since WWII. My son's in the guard and served one tour in Afghanistan. It doesn't get any easier does it. Bless you and your son. You sargeants bear the brunt - there's no question.
