I am writing this to let you know how proud i am of my son PFC Nicholas Chavez who has been serving in the Army for 2 yrs now he went straight from school at 18yrs of age and is currently deployed to Afghanistan at camp Clark. He is my youngest son and i miss him and wish he would hurry and come home. There are times i don't hear from him for weeks at a time and i can't help but wonder what if? I know he is happy doing what he does he has told me on several occasions, even though i don't understand the whole war fighting thing i am very proud to call him my son he is fighting for something he believes in and to keep us free.
