My nephew returned from Iraq this past spring and I understand the angst the families go through, and I'm sure in particular the wives and mothers. My sister is still recovering from the stress of having her son in a war zone. While he was gone, she couldn't have any fun, she asked me if my son was in the hospital, could I go out and have fun? No. Sometimes my family meets at the local tavern/pizza place and she usually wouldn't go. That's what it feels like for these moms and wives.

In addition to that, the year before, one of his Marine buddies killed himself after my newphew's birthday party.

Donna, I will pray for Charlotte and her family.
