My War

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are serious issues all Americans are concerned about regardless of their political positions on the war itself. And those in the military carry the burden of these concerns when they or family members sign up to risk their lives for our country. Though President Obama has a timeline for the withdrawal of troops, being in the U.S. military is a dangerous and serious responsibility. Do you or someone you know have family in the armed forces? Or, are you in the military yourself?

We want to know your story. How are you, your family, and your friends coping with the decision to defend our nation and be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan?
