Thanks for the info. Joining you in hoping SSgt Mike hadn't moved.

I understand about being glued to the news and tired and wishing it was over and then being ashamed. The roller coaster ride of war.

I actually went out with one of the youngers for a bit this evening. It seems so strange to be out walking around watching people in their normal routines. Then I realized that this is the very freedom that our troops are fighting for. I stopped in my tracks and said a silent word of thanks.

It is almost surreal. Some people don't even seem to know that we are at war.

But then I have to remember that when you've been one of or near a WarFighter, you forget that EVERYONE isn't as "tuned in" as we are.

You are, as usual, correct. That's what it's all about.

Hugs to you, glad you could grab a few moments normalcy. Hugs to ALL your youngers!
