'Our July Fourth without you'
![]() My son, Aiden, and I watch the fireworks alone (left). And our beloved soldier at home on leave (right). To SPC Michael Pletscher of the 977 MP Company in Kirkuk, Iraq. A husband and a father, missing out on all the new things his one year old has learned. He is learning too fast. It is miserable without you, but I'd rather be miserable than happy that you're gone. Until you return, until our lives are normal, and until we are whole again. We love and miss you. -- Jacqueline Pletscher of San Angelo, Texas |
