I just happened to see the collection of images my son sent on his first TDY to Iraq. Not an enjoyable time but a big part of his life and by association, mine.
~~~~~~~~~~~
My son - Baghdad Iraq - late 2004. It was a new chapter in his job & he knew there was no way to fully understand this war unless there was time with ‘boots on the ground'. As a civilian he worked with the active duty troops of the coalition & came back to the US with a deeper understanding of their needs. What none of us anticipated was that he would spend seven years, on & off, in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was a very challenging time for me & his family & I thank god it’s over.
