Good question actually. Her whole unit wasn't deployed. Just a team and she said she'd be back in about a month or so she hoped....
It's the military.....
She served three tours since 9/11. One in Afghanistan and two in Iraq and that is after serving the in the first gulf war and somalia!
She's a very tough cookie, my sis, and I am very proud of her. She can tell some pretty funny stories about being a small female assigned to a Marine Unit!! LOL!! They put her through her paces, but don't mess with her now - you get the whole Corps on your tail! Marines take good care of their docs!
I pray for her and all our troops safe return!!! They are out there protecting ours and others freedom and I thank all our military!!! God bless America!
