The moment Amy Cotta signed her son over to the Marines in 2011, she was overwhelmed by the worries of so many unknowns.
As a mother, her first concern was her son’s safety. She had no idea if the boy she sent to the military would return home at all.
“We were still losing a ton of people at that time,” Cotta said. “And it’s any parent’s worst nightmare, not knowing if you’re sending your child off to war. I dealt with a lot of emotions during that time, and I needed a way to deal with them.”
