Charles King, forty eight, was killed on October 14, 2006, when an improvised explosive device detonated under his Humvee on an isolated road near Baghdad. His son Jordon, was seven months old. A Journal for Jordon is a mothers letter to her son-fierce in its honesty-about the father he lost before he could even speak. it is also a fathers advice and prayers for the son he will never know. 2
