the fiance's family met him at o'hare
after we had bid farewell in omaha.
they had his uniform,
ready to help him make the switch from
"civilian" threads to camou.
his littlest brother commented,
"he went into the bathroom a man
and came out a soldier."
"i can't lie-i viewed him as a regular guy under that uniform,
but there's an irrevocable shift in perception that occurs
when you've seen the man you regularly fight
for the remote control being addressed as
'sir.'"
