To Iraq Again?
I got an email from my niece yesterday saying that her National Guard unit will most likely get called up next summer and have to go back to Iraq. This news is certainly a bummer. She has been there once and, like everyone else in the country, really struggled with the question "Should we be there?" especially once she returned home. My cousin also returned from Iraq earlier this year, and a long-time friend just came home this month. Nobody I know who has been to Iraq has been physically injured and I am very grateful and thankful for that. It is frustrating to know that my niece may return for a second tour. Hopefully, her orders will get rescinded and she will not have to go back and be placed in harm's way again.
