A Rather Personal Indication of Impending War

Table of Content

My brother Tim's Utah National Guard unit has been called up for active duty. Later this week they go to Fort Lewis, Washington, and soon thereafter they will apparently be dispatched to the Middle East. He will be on active duty for one year. He is 27 years old, with a wife and 4 kids.

I'm trying hard not to think about this too hard.
