Unimaginable deployment grief of the week


As a good discipline, I've been keeping weekly lists here, so that all the names don't go by unnoticed - there is so much more to prolonged, open conflict than just year-over-year summary statistics.

Each week, one notices 2-3 stories that just leap off the page. Here is one of this week's:

Still grieving over the deaths of two of their children, Army Spc. John Austin Johnson and his wife this week have to bury a third child.

...

Tyler, his mother and his siblings were on their way to visit Spc. Johnson, who was hospitalized in San Antonio with a traumatic brain injury suffered in Iraq.

Their sport utility vehicle crashed on their way from El Paso, flipping at least four times. - dallasnews
