Your family is in my prayers. It is my worst fear that my brother will be sent and thank god he is still stationed in Texas. Just keep the faith that everything will be okay.
My brother is a US Marine. He served 2 tours in Iraq, fighting in Fallujah when it was the hotbed.
Same here, except it was my DH instead of my brother. Feel free to FM if you need support, because I definitely understand what you'll be going through.
