Our son Jon is a Marine veteran. He served in Afghanistan in 2010, a hard year for several reasons, but most of all because he was in a faraway land with a fierce enemy pursuing him. Trust became a huge issue. We begged the Lord to bring our son and the other men and women who were in harm’s way, home safe. At the same time we had to be prepared in case things did not go well. What if Jon came back with a devastating injury? What if he returned with his body intact, but had PTSD so severe he couldn’t function? What if he didn’t make it back at all?
