I have a son who just got to Iraq about 3 weeks ago. I think he is way, way, way, to green to be in the war. He just joined the Army in October, and now he is in Iraq.
This is the email I got this morning:
"Yesterday, 2 September 2009, our brigade suffered two deaths as a result
of a non-hostile accident. This accident involved the battalion to
which your loved one is assigned. Each Soldier's Next of Kin has been
notified, and we expect public release of the Soldiers' names to follow
soon. We are actively planning a memorial service in coordination with
the forward command. As details are confirmed, we will provide you
additional information. I will also provide you a copy of the official
news release when it is released by the Department of Defense. Our
thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time."
If "next of kin" has been notified, then I guess that is not my son, as I have not been notified. Still, I am pretty stressed about this. I am not blaming the messenger.
I have both a son and a son in law in Iraq right now.
