He had to bury two of his recruits. One was shot in a fight with the enemy by small arms fire. This man WANTED to be a combat soldier since he was a child and his parents agreed with him. THey were not mad at all at my DH, they appreciated everything he did. He even folded the flag and made sure that he had all active duty soldiers for the salute. (the VFW are sometimes a bit out of sync)
THe other one died in a Car accident that was not caused by the enemy in Afghanistan, with him two he made sure that the parents were taken care of. He would love to see them all come home safe, but you all know there is always a risk envolved in being a solider.
I have seen wonderful things happen to young people after they became soldiers. He recruited our neighbor at our first duty station. THis young man would never look at you or say a word while walking by. After he came home from basic and AIT all sudden he would run straight across the apartment complex to carry the trash for me.
