Moved to Tears

  People ask me what it's like to be the parent
    of a young man who serves in Gaza

  I am proud of my son, who is doing what he believes in
    because there comes a time when we sacrifice - remember that word?
      for our country, for our people, for our dignity

  I am moved to tears.  Tears of joy.  My son is my hero.
