I joined the Army Reserves in 2001 at the age of 17. I found myself in Balad, Iraq from 2004-2005. I walked around Camp Anaconda and parts of Iraq with a camera in one hand and a notebook in the other. These are my scribbles about my experience in Iraq and returning home.

Thanks for sharing such a personal part of your life. It is very enlightening.
Thanks for sharing this, Kate. It's tough watching Alzheimer's take away a person you love.
Very powerful. Thanks for sharing.
What a powerful piece. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. My family is on the same path with my Dad and your piece gave me chills.
Thank you for the comments! I'm glad it moved you.
Pattie-I wish your family the best. Hope your dad is well.
Sorry to hear that story. I kind of worry, because I have CRS now, so I wonder how bad I'll be when I get older.

Sorry to see that, Kate. Went thru the same thing in the early decade with MY old man. I like to think, though, that I gave him a couple of extra years, though.
