I had two brothers in the Air Force, but one is out and is now a police officer. The other is still in and has decided to stay in until he retires. It's VERY hard never really knowing when or if he will be sent to Afghanistan or Iraq, so I know how you feel. It's something that's always in the back of my mind.
I don't really have any advice for you other than try to keep busy and put it all in God's hands. I know that's hard, but that's the only way I can deal with it. I wish you and your family the very best, and I will keep your brother in my prayers. Let your brother know how very proud you are of him, and that everyone in the US is grateful for what he's doing. |
