Very different "this time around". I am starting to loose count of the number of friends of my kids and kids of my friends seeing active duty. Just saw a picture of a kid I coached in high school lacrosse with his father who just got back from 400 days over there as a Guard captain. Good to see him home and healthy. Really hits home. Luckily no body that close has been a casualty, but you have to keep them all and all their families in our prayers all the time.
