Blogger Donald Sensing's son has deployed to the Middle East. There's a moving essay, with many photos, at the link. Go read it all.

. . .Some people reach the end of their lives still wondering whether they ever made a positive difference in their country or the world. Marines don’t have that problem, and neither, of course, do soldiers, sailors, airmen or Coast Guardsmen.

My son and his fellows are producers of freedom, not mere consumers of it. And those who only consumed freedom will one night lie in their beds and think themselves accursed that they didn’t serve with them.

Good luck, good hunting, and get home safe.
