"One in Afganistan. One in Iraq."

I just heard the news today. My sister Becca (Air Force Lieutenant currently stationed in Texas), is getting deployed to Kabul, Afganistan on November 9th. She'll be stationed there for 122 days as a protocol officer, and will finally be able to use her new Arabic linguistic skills.

Of course, with her transfer to Kabul, that also means I'll actually have two siblings in the warzone overseas -- Ben among the roadside bombs and insurgents of Iraq, and Becca among the terrorist-friendly Afgans.

And while I'm concerned for both of them, I still couldn't be more proud!
