It is really easy to get caught up in the simple stresses and pleasures that happen to me and my family each day. It is really easy to ignore the dramas unfolding far away, in another front, for my fellow countrymen.
But I am often overcome with pure gratitude and up most respect for the brave men and women serving us so well in a foreign and sometimes confusing war. Today is such a day.
On March 20th 2005 the loss of war hit very close to home when Jay's dear friend and mentor Paco lost his only son to the cause of Freedom. Paquito, not even old enough to buy a beer, sacrificed the most precious gift he was afforded for our way of life. Paco's composure and actions following such tragedy has influenced me and my own actions more than I can ever state. With an unimaginable loss he found indescribable courage.
Following in his sons heroism, Paco re-enlisted in the Air Force and will be joining our troops in Iraq next week. Please join me by including him in your prayers daily and wishing him a healthy and safe return to his wife and daughter.
