This morning's news from Iraq includes reports of a U.S. Apache helicopter shot down near Fallujah. For most Americans, such news whirls past them on radio, television, or in the morning papers. For others, a news story like that might mean my son or my daughter. For relatives of soldiers stationed there, every bombing, every convoy move puts someone they love in danger.
The last year has been a blur of sleepless nights, anxious days, and lots of worry for America's military families. As the danger escalates and tours of duty are extended, some find themselves fighting conflicting emotions, both supporting the troops and questioning why their loved ones are there.
