4/9/2010
During the Persian Gulf War, I was assigned to go to Saudi Arabia.   As I was saying good-bye to my family, my three-year-old son, Christopher, was holding to my leg and pleading with me not to leave.  “No, Daddy, please don’t go!” he kept repeating.    We were beginning to make a scene when my wife, desperate to calm him, said, “Let Daddy go and I’ll take you to get pizza.  “Immediately, Christopher loosened his death grip, stepped back and in a calm voice said, “Bye, Daddy.”                                           Craig S.  Kunishige
