I kiss my son in law on forehead his nightmares he was naval corpsman

I kiss him and tell him I love you boy. We sit on back porch and I listen to him ramble drinking me iam old airborne infantry all peace time never war but I listen . I look at my son in law and listen to him talk I love him a navy corpsmen walked with marine infantry in Iraq. My son in law is so sweet a good man suffering from ptsd.

I do not drink anymore but I sit here and listen to my son in law a fine man a good husband and father. To our daughter and grandson and I do respect my son in law as naval corpsmen if a brother is hit you have to go after them army we had medics marine corps navy corpsmen as grunts they to us were docs. And we treated em like gold.

So I cannot imagine what our son in law went thru under fire crawling after a wounded marine. I told him I love you my boy he is today in his 30’s. I hugged him and kissed him I love him.
