The BirdBrain's Nest

A friend and classmates brother's was injured in Iraq a couple weeks ago. I directly heard about the injuries, the work at trying to get out to D.C., and the frustrating uncertainty of not knowing what going on. This is the closest that the Iraqi war has come to affecting me in any way. Right now I can't think of anyone else serving over there that I know. It's strange to see something that seems far away and almost abstract that has ties to people and happenings around me.
