KEEP THEIR SPIRITS HIGH
The voice on the other end of the telephone line paused for a moment before continuing.
"It was hard,it was real hard having one (son) over there constantly in harm's way," Craig Hancock said."But you know,with Vincent,the good thing,with him doing what he does (with the marksmanship unit),he doesn't really have to get deployed right now."
Twice in the past five years,the worry has been the same for the Hancock family.When will Matthew Hancock come home?How is he doing?What is he seeing?
While no one in the Hancock family knew those answers at the time,they soon discovered one thing their eldest son had been doing while stationed in Iraq with the Fort Stewart-based Third Infantry Division.Matthew Hancock was keeping up with all of the competitions of his baby brother.
"You could always say it was kind of scary," Vincent Hancock said."I always talked to him and called him as much as possible,and it's funny,he and the guys in his unit would sort of follow my events on the Internet.I would race outside after competitions and talk to him on the phone sometimes,and there would be 15 or 20 guys behind him cheering."
Long after Matthew Hancock returned home and enrolled in warrant officer school in Alabama,Vincent Hancock understood the value those phone conversations had for his brother and the troops in his camp.Hearing news of a young American doing well in a global competition made them proud.It sort of provided a just cause for continuing their grave missions.
"It kept their spirits and morale up,I guess you could say," Vincent Hancock said."We help train soldiers to be better marksmen,but one of our main purposes of our (marksmanship unit) is to keep their morale up in times like this.If we're doing that,we're doing our jobs."
