the iraq deadline is near.......6:00pm arizona time. if saddam hussein and his sons do not leave the country, war will begin. it all seems so unreal to me. i have a cousin who is in the marines and is out there. he was always so fascinated with guns and the military as we were growing up. it really didn't surprise me when he made the decision to join the marines. i miss him so much. tonight, will be something i will surely remember for a very long time. god bless all the people who are serving in the military and their families.
