Act 23

A friend of a friend recently lost her husband in Afghanistan. My friend organized a rotating schedule for bringing meals to the family. Chloe and I brought them lunch today. I got teary on my way to their house. One of the cruelest components of the two wars we’re fighting is the lack of sacrifice from Americans as a whole. There are a small amount of people suffering so everyone else can have a false sense of security. My meal was a small action compared to the sacrifice their family has made and will endure, but hopefully their meals will bring them comfort in knowing they have support from many other military families, both in Washington and around the world.
