Thank you so very much everyone. Mike said that if he likes the work, they will have jobs for him in Iraq too! I hope he decides this isn't for him. He's a very brave fellow and also very patriotic. I feel he would have been safer to stay in the Navy and go to the Gulf on a carrier like he used to.

Well, mothers don't get a say in these things. I used to think I worried about my kids when they were two and then later when they were teens. I guess moms don't ever finish worrying regardless of the amount of faith they have in their children or their higher power. This is my oldest and he's 39! I don't know how he got that old. ha!
