Last check

Jason the co-worker that is going to Iraq came and picked up his last paycheck. He will be leaving this Wednesday; and will not be back till next August. He is to do a 12 months tour, but was told that he may have to stay 18 months, This will been his second tour in Iraq. Jason is the fifth person that I know personally that have gone off to war. One person went to desert storm and the others to freedom Iraq. How many wars can on generation have?
