    I’m Greg Missman’s Mom and I found this memoriam to Greg by chance today when I just happened to search on his name. I appreciate your mentioning Greg in your blog. It’s hard to believe that Greg has been gone for over 2 years now and of course, I miss him every day. He was a wonderful son and a loving father to his little son, Jack. It’s so tragic that we are losing so many of our good men and women in this war and I just hope and pray that it ends soon.
