Description

Scott has been in the hostile zone for a couple of days now, and we havent heard from him, nor do we expect to hear from him. I check out a website called iCasualties Afghanistan on a daily basis. Most columns in the database simply say not yet reported, so here I sit wondering if Ill have the satisfaction of ever seeing my oldest son alive again. Lance Corporal Scott Nielsen was deployed to Afghanistan as a US Marine machine gunner from April to November of 2010. His father, Mark began keeping a journal to record his thoughts, the news, and the day to day happenings in his life during his sons seven month absence. MY SON: BOY. MAN. MARINE is that journal. It gives us a glimpse into the life of a Marine who is fighting for our nations freedom in a far-off land, and it offers insight into the lives of the families who hold down the fort while waiting for their loved ones to come home.
