Scott Cestari Sending our youth off to war

Interview with a patriotic father having to send his son off to Afghanistan; The apprehension, The anxiety, and the prayers to watch over his son.

Many define "the patriot" as one who flies the flag and welcomes home the warriors; slapping the family car with bumper stickers, but the real patriots are our youth putting their lives on the line. With only .5% of America's youth volunteering to serve, it's one thing to say "I support the troops"; it's another thing to actually face the committment head-on by having a personal stake in the war by watching our kids really grow-up and knowing they may be changed forever.

Tonight's brief interview will give the listener an idea of what the family goes through when our best and brightest head off to war to protect American values and/or to fight for the very ideals of freedom in which our country has lead the birth of our nation.
