92. My son, a Marine, has served two tours in Iraq

and will be going back for a third. During his time there, the DUers here have been great. The support has been amazing. My son is a liberal who voted for Kerry. He was in Fallujah, Ramadi, Tikrit. Hidith. All along the Syrian border. Mosul.
And, yes. He made it home safely both times. He's broken his nose and chipped a tooth -- in martial arts training. And he has a little scar on his shin from catching some metal from an IED. He had some minor scrapes and bruises when he was riding in a tank that rolled over.
He's been very lucky.
And he's lost some very close friends.
