Please consider calling, writing, & emailing DC & Your elected employees
to end these horrible wars.

Please reach out to neighbors & strangers who have someOne in these awful wars..it is an incredibly lonely & frightening time for Military Families. ANY sign of acknowledgement & compassion can be a huge enCouragement.

Also, there is a relatively UNknown part of NCLB, funding public schools requires each school collect information on each child, for DoD/Military recruiters.. PARENTS have to opt out, be proactive. Info can be found at Mothers Against the Draft. I haven't followed this at all in the past few years,& can't get into it now, but would like to follow up when time allows.

Personally,
My only "child" was in OIF, I didn't sleep for 20 min. at a time, for 5 years.
I'm still recovering from the experience..those who haven't experienced it personally just don't get it. Altho' MY Son came HOME (thanks, God) & got out, & he is WHOLE, Healthy & Happy, HE is the exception. EVERY One who goes to war is changed forever.

EnJOY every moment with YOUR Babies, right now, & teach them well..teach them to question 'authority' & think for themSelves..even Your teenagers!
