My family has a long military record on both sides. I grew up a navy brat. Mum's family has served with the ANZACS and/or British army for 3 centuries. My brother in law serves in the US Army and he will be deploying for his third tour to the Middle East soon.
A friend of our family was also killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb, and it made us come up with a contingency plan for my sister and her boys, if something ever happens to her husband. I know your pain to a degree and will offer any shoulder or ear you may ever need.
"...and I don't think most people who haven't gone through things like this do." Warning: English major in me coming out! This part of the sentence seemed somewhat confusing for some reason. Probably just the wording.
