Life During Wartime

March 25, 2008 - 12:00am
By Patrick Byers

On the heels of the fifth anniversary of the start of the Iraq war and the death of the 4000th U.S. service member killed in that conflict, The Sun is beginning a conversation on the war and its implications for those at home. In today’s contribution, a veteran of the conflict and member of the Class of 2008 writes about his service and a feeling of being misunderstood.
