I was in my living room with LOH and our 3 week old daughter.

I was getting ready to go back to work that afternoon, as I had taken some time off from work for MJ's welcome home/welcome to the world.

We were sitting watching a movie, and the phone rang.

It was Karen, wanting to know if I had heard from the Army. Huh? Yeah, we're at war.

Huh?

She told me to turn on CNN, I did, and after a few minutes of conversation I called my unit to report in.
