    Amazing how few families are responding. My son-in-law is on his second tour of Iraq right now. He has also served in Kuwait, Africa, Beruit, Korea and Afghanistan. He has an almost two year old child who's father missed her mother's whole pregancy and who won't be back until she is nearly three years old. Plus there are two older kids who are 7 and 9 living without a daddy. It is very hard on my daughter, in fact I am living with her for support until he returns this time. Imagine everyday not knowing where your spouse is or how he is.

    He did try to get out and stop the deployment but could not find a civilian job to support his family and offer medical insurance so he went back in.

    They were stationed here just two months when he was deployed, leaving his wife and children in a strange city where they knew no one.
