Maps and families

Rachel Dean

WHEN my husband brought home the January 2004 Soldiers Almanac, I was thrilled to see the combined world map/ map of Iraq. His unit is getting ready for its second trip to Iraq in less than a year.

The families left behind have learned that a simple map of their loved ones' location can ease their worries by allowing them to see on paper that our Soldiers aren't "just out in the middle of nowhere." Each night before bedtime, our own three boys check the map to see where Dad is. It has been a wonderful tool for each of the times Dad has been deployed/assigned on remotes.
