now it's real

Published Jul. 5, 2009

My son just told me yesterday that he has gotten word that his unit of the 82nd airborne was getting deployed to Afghanistan in Sept. He's been enjoying being stationed at Bragg and coming home on weekends. Now reality has hit home, and he's just hoping...... he comes home.  I know a lot of Goloers have sons deployed and I've prayed for them. I hope my friends at GOLO will do the same for me and my son.

I'll certainly be saying many prayers for your son and you!!

Please tell him "thank you" from me!!

I will definitely be praying for you and yours.

You and your son will be in my prayers. My son in law was in Iraq with the Marines - I don't think I sleep thru the night the entire time he was deployed.

You know we will. One of my sons leaves in August.

Thoughts and Prayers Golden!!! Thank You to You and Your Family!!! We have had 2 very close to us over in Iraw...one came back to Fort Bragg in March and the other in New Jersey last month.

Opps Iraq...

tell him thanks for being there for the rest of us...

Well said DJ

Thanks to him and I'm always praying for all the troops.

Goldenlover,I know you have mixed emotions:you are proud of your son serving in the military,then there's the anxiety and fears.I have a 26 year old son,not in the military,but I can't imagine what you are going through.We will all be in prayer for your son and family.
