    My son is deploying this week for the third time

    My son is in the 4InfantryDivision, and is deploying again. This is his 3rd time. He is a battled hardened veteran, he doesn't talk about where he's been or the things he has seen and done.
    I'm not complaining, as I'm very proud of him. Just asking for a little extra help keeping him safe in a very bad place

    Will pray for his physical and psychological well being
