My son Jason is an officer in the United States Air Force.
He and his wife are expecting a baby in August.
Jason was recently notified that he will be deployed to Afghanistan in August.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Jason and others who serve in the military for their service to our country, courage and unselfishness.
Our servicemen and women in Iraq or Afghanistan make significant personal sacrifices and risk their lives for our country/ us.
They deserve recognition for that and support.
