I watched MSNBC tonight and they asked the question "who is fighting this war". There was alot of talk about how few sons or daughters of congress members where fighting in this war, they didn't mention the executive branch. My question is how many peaple on DKO have relatives that have served in either Afaganitan or Iraq?
More below the fold.
My son left for Afaganistan on March 13 of 2002. My husband and I remember this date because it was my husbands birthday. We were lucky, we could afford to fly to Fort Cambell Kentucky to see him off. It was one hell of a 6 mos. watching the war every night on TV and spending every day waiting for the militery car to pull in the driveway to let us know he didn't make it.We were lucky, our hell only went on for 6 months this time.
Fast forward to March again but this time it was 2003 and we once again saw him off, this time to Iraq. Same old watching the news every night and waiting for that car to show up every day to give the bad news. We are lucky our son is home and out of the service. My question is with poll, how many people on this site have loved ones that have served or are serving in this war?
Update: I guess I blew this poll. I should of added are you serving now. I am sorry for that.
