Day 2. Baghdad: Perspective
Baghdad was truly a vision of the colorless world they call deployment. Seeing endless amounts of gravel and cement that they learn to call home made me appreciate the noise and color of America. Living minimally is important during deployment and it has the potential to build great character in our spouse if we choose to see it. I have been frustrated in the past by my soldier after deployment, but now I see the discipline and endurance he gained because of it. I can now say I’m grateful for this perspective in our family.
