Well…here we are. My little brother going to War. I guess i have got a lot of emotions flying through my head.
I wish I could follow him. I wish that I could share a foxhole with him. I wish I could be there to kick anyone’s ass that has the yarbles to mess with MY kid brother. I guess thats the Big brother in me. Only i am allowed to pick on him, beat him up, or otherwise give him hell.
I guess I should realize that he can take care of himself from now on. We’re not 12 years old anymore. I dont have to defend him from the bullies on the bus. He is now going to defend ME from the bullies in the Mid- East.
So here it is. Devin…I am more proud of you than any big brother has ever been. I’m proud of the man you are. I am proud that you are my brother.
I have a set of your dog tags. I’m not taking them off till you get home.
better hurry…cause they chafe like hell

Jarrett, this was perfect. I remember a fight or two between you and Devin when y’all were kids. You were the first to jump on him, but you were also the first to defend him.
I am proud of both the men I have raised.
