WILL YOU ACCEPT A BIT OF UNSOLICITED ADVICE ON AN UNPLEASANT TOPIC?

If you are a family member of a US Servicemember who is or might be deployed to Baghdad, Afghanistan or other dangerous area...may I suggest that you get a passport?

Yes. You may need a passport.

Why? Because if, heaven forbid, your soldier becomes critically wounded, your soldier might be evacuated to the Army hospital in Germany or a Navy hospital in Spain.

And if it is really bad...and they can't move that soldier any more, then you already have your passport and can simply step on a plane and come to Europe.

But if you DON'T already have that passport...that is a whole other battle you have to fight.

Go get your passport.

Then let's all pray you don't have to use it.
