Good discussion on what it's like to be a milspouse, and what it's like to hear the crap the anti-war crowd sometimes dishes out.
Interrupted by a very special visitor - Mr. Robert Stokely. He told us that today would have marked his son's second wedding anniversary.
Mr. Stokely said that the milblog community gave him his life back after he'd lost his son (which is where many of us started crying).
To the question "Was Iraq worth it?" he had an answer.
Mr. Stokely, holding one of Mike's diapers from when he was a newborn (as Mr. Stokely said, 'unused, of course') said, "Ask the little boy who couldn't even fit in one of these without it falling off, who became a man...he was willing to die for it."
Indeed.
