On Father's Day all the fathers away at war should be remembered too. This is a positive story about mentoring and about children that need a Dad in their lives and how some surrogates step in temporarily to help out and give the kids some guidance.
On this Father's Day, it should be noted that about 60 percent of military personnel — about 838,000 — are fathers, according to the Pentagon. More than 123,000 of these fathers are deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. The lives of their children, says Nancy Campbell, who works in Army family services, "are turned upside down."
