Jane Strand won't have to wonder how her son is doing as he deploys for the first time with the N.C. National Guard to Iraq in a few weeks. She'll be right there with him.
Sgt. Strand and her son, Pvt. Timothy Strand, are part of the 449th Theater Aviation Brigade, based in Morrisville. The Guard held a farewell ceremony for the brigade Thursday afternoon, an event designed to honor the families of the service members as much as those in uniform.
Of course some dudes might be like "I gotta get shot at AND hafta hang out with my mother?!?!?!" No Iraqi hookers and all-night card games for you, Timmy!
But hey, good for them. Good luck. My question is, do you think Matt Christopher has one more book in him?
Go get 'em, moms!!!!
