A Difficult Goodbye

Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum was ordered to Iraq in July. His four-year-old daughter Paige had a hard time letting go, so much that she held onto his hand in formation. No one, including the commanding officer, had the heart to pull her away. The picture of the incident, taken by Paige’s mother, has gone viral and touched people all over the country.

weep warning for all hormonal mothers and maybe all parents or all hormonal people or all people. geez.

oh man. that picture.

Oh boy. That's hard to look at.

or all people.

I vote this one!

That picture's worth more than a thousand words.

It really is. Geez.

In slightly lighter leaving-for-Iraq news, we had two units leave Salt Lake the other day. However, one of the officers discovered he still had the only set of car keys on him, so they had to turn his helicopter around and come back to base so he could give the keys to his wife. I imagine he's going to be hearing about that for months.

Oh that picture.
