Reply #14: My Son's Deployment to Iraq

[dogday]

Started in January 05 when he received his first set of orders, well those got canceled. Then in March 05 he received some new orders to go to Afghanistan in June, they were canceled. Then in May, he received new orders to go to Tikrit, those orders sent him to Ft. Hood where he received orders to deploy sometime during the week of November 13th. He left on the 14th.

Vague orders, canceled orders and our emotions just keep going round and round and round....
