Washington military families on edge as tensions escalate with Iran

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

After a U.S. airstrike killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, military families in the U.S. are closely watching news of escalating tensions, and wondering if further troop deployments come next.

“That’s personal to us, we know those people,” said Rochelle Pittis, from her home in Skagit County. “It’s not just some obscure ‘troops’ over there.”

Pittis is president of the Washington chapter of Blue Star Moms, a support group for military families. Her son Joe serves in the Army and is stationed in Colorado. He hasn’t been called up yet, but she worries and waits, like other mothers.

“Yeah I’ve talked to several families, several moms that have contacted me,” she said. “So I know they’re doing the same thing I am, they’re watching the news, holding their breath. Trying to breathe. It’s going to be OK. Even if they deploy, it’s going to be OK.”
