Rob,

We are all extremely sorry that your son is in his current situation,  
regardless of the reasons he is there.

We all know it must be stressful.

I am glad he feels his sacrifice is well spent. I just do not agree.

I honor his commitment to duty. I just wish the leadership of our  
country shared it.

We sincerely wish the best for him and all other service people there.

Ric Carter
