On Friday I was talking to my students about why we didn't have school on Monday. As I gave my short-child-friendly version of what a Veteran is, some of my students started talking about the war in Iraq. It then dawned on me that the majority of my students were born in 2002 so the War in Iraq has been going on for their entire life.
Having the war as an underscore in their lives, I wonder how this generation's views and understanding of the world will be influenced.
