Senior Airman Jason Koder of Northampton, Pa., hugs his 13 month old son Zander and wife Christa, prior to boarding for Afghanistan at Willow Grove Naval base in Willow Grove, Pa., on Sunday July 27, 2008. This is Koder's 3rd deployment to the Middle East. "Leaving the family is hard," said Koder, "but this is what we signed up for." Koder was part of the 913th which disbanded last year and is now with the 111th Fighter Wing Penn Air National Guard. (Jane Therese/Special to The Morning Call)
