Brandons unit was supposed to go last year in October. That is what they were planning on. But they werent ready. So they say they will leave later this year for the intensive training they have to go through before heading to Iraq. He is my youngest so it scares me thinking of him going. But i know he will be smart and stay safe. And come home to us. Just wish this war would end. But we have to be proud of the men and women that are in the military because they volunteered to serve they werent drafted. Just is sad to know we have lost so many people in this war since it started. My prayers go out to the ones that have lost their lives or are over there now.
