It is hard to believe that it has been seven years since we invaded Iraq. My unit was a part of the initial invasion force. We fought our way up to Baghdad and then patrolled Saddam City (now Sadr City). I witnessed, and created, more death and destruction than most civilians can comprehend. And those images have remained with me since my mind first took mental snapshots of them. Those images will always be with me. Sadly, few Americans, besides those of us who served in Iraq, seem to care about our war. It has become one of the only U.S. wars that Americans can easily choose not to care about one way or another.

Now, on the seventh anniversary, the Iraq war will get a few seconds of coverage in between American Idol reviews and Dancing With The Stars critiques before being forgotten until next year. Forgetting about the Iraq War is a luxury I don't have.
