Proud GS Mom: Thank you for sharing your letter, and the article in Stars and Stripes. Both were excellent, as was your interview. I have never served in our armed forces, nor have I ever been a mother. I can only imagine your pain and grief; and I am so sorry that some, stupidly and callously, thought to make light of what should only be handled with the utmost respect and professional decorum.

May Almighty God give peace to your son and His peace and comfort to you, your family, and the men who knew your son as a friend and fellow warrior. Please take comfort that you will see your son again - in His kingdom. I thank you for your son's honorable service and his sacrifice - and your sacrifice as well.
