This past Monday my great friend Andy left for Iraq for his 3rd tour. He has 3 children that his family is looking after while hes gone. Andy has been my friend since the 1st grade and now 30 some yrs later we are still friends.
I have talked with Andy many times about his time in Iraq and it wasnt good. He has a hard time just getting in a car for fear of it blowing up, he cant sleep in the same house with the kids because of nightmares. He sleeps in the garage that hes made into a home away from home.
He has told me that he hates being home because he lies so much to his kids and family about what happens over there and the questions people ask him..."How many people have you killed?" things like that.
I pray for the best for him and for him to return home safely. For those of you who read this please say a prayer, wishes or what ever you do for him.
