Staff Sgt. and bomb technician Adam Perkins knew that his job could lead to his death, so before the Marines redeployed him to Afghanistan last month, Perkins made sure his 9-month-old son would remember him.
"He videotaped himself reading a bunch of books to his son," his mom, Laureen Myers, said Saturday.
