Sad to report I have lost my only son this week as a result of one of the many so called wars we have been involved in since WWll. We have never won any of them and had our butts kicked more than a few times. But thanks to the military /industrial establishment and our wonderul elected officials many of our young men never came home. Many more are still missing and still more are away form our shores. I recently heard the Detroit Tigers say they were broadcasting to our troops in 176 countries around the world.What in the world is happening here.
Sorry if I rambled on and strayed into this no mans land.If I sound a little bitter , I am

So sorry to hear that news. Your comment about the Detroit Tigers "greeting" says a lot and your bitterness is understood. I hope the knowledge that this family of steelers all care can help ease your burden of pain somehow.

Willis, I thank your son for his service to our country and his sacrifice, ALL. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I retired two weeks ago after serving 27 years in law enforcement. We lost officer Scott Patrick in a senseless shooting from a traffic stop in the same county I work in and the community where I grew up, a week after I retired. It really hit home. I am truly sorry for your loss and pray Gods peace and love be demonstrated in your family's lives over the coming days and months.

I'm so sorry you lost your son in a war we can't win. The cost of Freedom doesn't come cheap & your
son paid the ultimate price for our freedom with his life. I thank him for his service with all my heart.
Willis you & all the family are lifted up in prayer.
I'm a believer that the lord will send comfort in the days ahead.
Take care my friend
