A Broken Arrow father is anxiously waiting to hear from his son who's fighting the war on terrorism.

It's been more than 3-weeks since Ray Toney last heard from his son Aaron. Aaron is a petty officer and just days away from his 23rd birthday. He's stationed in Bahrain with the US Navy.

Toney says the uncertainty of his son's well being is stressful, but as a Vietnam veteran himself, Ray says he understands his son has a very important job to do. "Once you sign that paper to do your duty and fight for your country it's an obligation and that's what you must do."

The longest the Toney's have waited to hear from their son is a month. Aaron's tour of duty expires in July.
