Believe me, I do pray for the U.S. military in Iraq.
My husband, age 44, has been out of the Army for 11 years (he got out August 1994).
He just got orders to go on active duty starting October 9.
He is leaving his job at Cingular.
We have 4 teenagers.
He will be gone at least 18 months, and likely will end up in Iraq starting January 2006.
