He's now a devoted REDSKINS fan! Yep he even bought a Clinton Portis jersey off ebay and even his AIM avatar is a helmet. Growing up he was always a little indifferent about football as like many young kids he played soccer. The jersey is coming here as he should be coming home in Nov but I am mailing him a Redskins hat for him to wear proudly while he's still serving overseas. Sorry if this is off topic but I'm a proud Dad and this is icing on the cake. Have a great day folks peace mike BrudLee 08-23-2005, 10:47 AM Mike- Congratulations! I'm sure that it's been a trying year for you, despite your obvious pride in your son. Good luck to you both, and thank him from me. Brud gortiz 08-23-2005, 10:51 AM Very cool, make sure to thank you son for me as well! Sammy Baugh Fan 08-23-2005, 11:21 AM Thanks guys. Yes I have floods of emotions about him being there other than pride and honor. I want to get this job done in that God forsaken place and get all the kids home. Semper Fi! Hail to the Redskins! mike BossHog 08-23-2005, 11:40 AM For whatever reason he or you come through Norfolk (NOB) and need a ride from the MAC Terminal to Norfolk International, let me know. :oink: Kope 08-23-2005, 11:45 AM Welcome him to the fold for us :) and godspeed.

Hope November comes quickly and your son comes back without a scratch! Out of curiosity, how did he become a huge football fan in Iraq. Do they get to see football replays in downtime? Just curious! backrow 08-23-2005, 01:05 PM God bless him and any soldiers in Iraq....skins fans or not. I say Amen to the above. For all of our Warfighters in harms way, and whereever they may be stationed all over the world. JWsleep 08-23-2005, 02:58 PM Awesome news, SBF! God bless your son and all our service men and women.
