	Quotes from Parents: "Your son will still be the boy you raised, he will still need the love of his mom, and his dad. You may get a glimpse [when he returns from combat], of that 'look' you were talking about, but he knows with you and the rest of the family he will be safe. He knows now that the world outside is not a pleasant place. With a loving family he will be fine. His view will have changed of the outside world, but not of those who have stood by him during this trying time in his life." HillBilly Mac, Corpsman Dad from Illinois, November, 2004 Click for more quotes: 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6- 7- 8- 9- 10- 11- 12
