I figured he would be going with the 101st and I had guessed this was the reason for today's lunch but hoped I was wrong. This will be his first deployment & going with the engineers who will be doing the preparation for the 101st to deploy. He will be there for 9 months they say but that is always subject to change. His particular job is not the most dangerous but they all travel in the same convoys & everywhere there is dangerous. Now I'm a worried Mama. Here is a pic of my handsome soldier son.

Jan - Your son is one fine looking young man and you have to be PROUD of him!!! It's great to know that our country is being protected by young men like your son! Godspeed to him and all of our soldiers for a safe deployment and return home!
