Can anyone tell me the story about Jim Webb and his son's

combat boots? I read that he wore his son's boots everyday during the campaign. And, when he won he had a message for Veterans. Did he lose his son in the Iraq war? I hope not.

I sure would like to know this story. I really like Webb. I think he's going to be great.

2. His son is alive, and with the Marines in Iraq

When Jim Jr was posted to Iraq, during the campaign, he asked his dad to wear his combat boots while he campaigned.

3. When Webb debated Allen on Russert's MTP, there was a

picture that spoke volumes. Here it is (sorry it's so small-Webb is wearing his son's combat boots):
