There are hundreds of local families with loved ones serving America, as we get closer to war.

Jeremy Weber is a Marine from Owasso. His wife and parents are proud he's serving his country. But they're anxious for his safe return. Weber's dad Danny was also a Marine, he served in Vietnam. And he says he's frustrated by recent protests against the military buildup. â€œIf they want to protest this way, that's one thing. But why make it harder on the guys that are over there. They don't want to be there either."

Jeremy Weber's wife is expecting their first child in September. His family hopes for a quick resolution with Iraq so he can be home when the baby comes.
