God bless you and your fellow troops. Your dad is going to make you and all of us very proud tommorrow! Stay safe and God bless you.
I had the pleasure of meeting him the weekend he was to take you to be sent to Iraq. Your father is a great and honorable man and I am HONORED to be a proud supporter of Senator Webb's and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service to our country.
My best wishes to you and please come home safely and SOON!!!
Sincerely,
Jennifer
Stay safe and thank you.
PS. Does anyone here (on RK) know what the story is with the WashPo's article yesterday, where they wrote that Jim Webb "named his son after Robert E.Lee"? How does Robert become a Jimmy?
Not that R.E. Lee would be a bad person to name a son after... :)
I've visited the R.E. Lee chapel at W&Lee U countless times (both by myself and with visitors from abroad) and always read and re-read the quotes, because they struck me -- from the very beginning -- as considered and informed thoughts of a person of honor, whose heart had been torn between the various duties and responsibilities facing him. A person who'd always look at both sides of any question before making a decision, but whose decision would put the "common good" before that of his own. Someone who, despite being a general ("in the business of war", so to speak) was also a person who valued peace, highly. And who was also extremely pragmatic, whose life seemed to say: if your house burns down, save what you can from it and rebuild. Stronger.
Come to think of it... He and Webb share a lot of characteristics, no?
We are grateful for your father’s courage to have taken on this great, almost insurmountable, challenge. Rest assured that with your father’s victory we have just begun to fight.
