This is a beautiful slide show tribute to the men and women in Iraq. It made me cry.

I have friends whose husbands have come home from serving in Iraq. These men return very different people than they were before going to Iraq. No longer able to be the husbands and fathers they were before. No longer able to hold a job. For many families having an angry violent man come back is also a loss of a husband and father. Mothers and wives as well. So many of my friends have this angry monster living in their home, where their loving husband used to be.

When I listen to my friends, when I try to help them through this anguish, I ask myself what would I do? What would I do if Jeff was gone and a man who was not good for my children returned? Would I have the strength to stand by him and see him through the years it takes to heal? What would that cost our children? There is a lot more to this story that what gets told.
