firehawkordy 34 Posted April 26, 2009 I got a call at 2:30 am today from my son the Marine, he was boarding the plane heading into harms way again. If you could keep him in your thoughts I'd appreciate it. I won't say where because of OPSEC, so please don't ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charlielima 328 Posted April 28, 2009 Semper Fi Mack! My Stepfather an old ex Willie Victor driver just told me "Grandpa Pettibone says there are old pilots and bold pilots, but there are no old and bold pilots". I didn't have the heart to tell him his son was going to turn 52 in 2 weeks. Hopefully the lads will come home to thier intact families with grand stories of thier adventures and no recollections of tragedy to thier mates. :ph34r: CL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firehawkordy 34 Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks for your support for him. When he gets situated I'll forward this post to him and hisunit so they know they are never far from our hearts. KB, my last instructions to him was to dial up his paranoia,keep his head and ass down and his mind on his job, then I told him we loved him and carry on.
