one of my student's husbands is going to Iraq shortly

I had her in fifth grade. I knew him all his life. He's going and they have a seven month old baby. That makes TEN people I know in Iraq. I hope there is a god and there is a hell for the architects of this.

2. We're awaiting word on the boyfriend of one of my employees

He's part of the Stryker Brigade, based out of Fort Lewis. They're in Mosul, right where the big attack occured today. We're just sick about it.

I'm so sorry about your friend going over there, and about all of the people who have had to leave their families for this bullshit war.

He will be in my thoughts and prayers. :hug:
