Christmas of 2005 my son was wounded by an explosive device set by an insurgent. During his flight back to the United States to be have surgeory for his injuries one of his dear friends he graduated with from West Point was killed. Earlier this year two other soldiers of his same battery were kidnapped and tortued to death. A couple of days ago my son informed his mother and I he lost yet another Class mate of West Point. His friend was killed in action. My middle son is currently deployed in Iraq for a second tour. He lost friends on his first tour. This same weekend a suicide bomber killed over 50 people near where he is stationed. This son tells me many soldiers are becoming more vocal about the Iraq war and how it has spinned out of control.
I am hurting because my sons are hurting. I would just like to know from some other parents, sisters, brothers, and friends facing what I am facing what can I do to comfort them? I am at a loss for words? It's difficult.l
