This is not meant as a political statement...
this is just me sharing a part of my life that makes me very sad right now...
My neice sent this picture to me from Germany today.

This is my nephew walking his 6-year old son to kindergarten for the last time
before heading off to Iraq for 15 months. It's the third time in 4 years
this little boy has had to say goodbye to his dad.
He puts on a strong face because he's the son of a soldier
but his heart breaks and he is angry and feels alone.
And he is not the only child of an American soldier dealing with this...
when does it become not worth it any more?
...okay, maybe it is a political statement.
