Legislator’s son headed to Iraq

July

Legislator Ed Day told me recently that he’s expecting his eldest son to be deployed to Iraq within the next month.Christopher Day, a 2003 graduate of Clarkstown North, is now stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C. He’s a member of the elite Army Airborne Rangers. His unit is already overseas and Day said he expects him back in three to four months, after which he may be sent to Afghanistan.Day said that he’s nervous, but “I’m proud of what he’s doing and I understand why he wants to do it.”Â

I guess the left’s usual “politician’s sons don’t serve or go into harm’s way” fails again. McCain has one over there and one going; Day clearly understands that his son knows what true service to our country means. God bless this young man, and may the good Lord bring him and his comrades home safely.
