"From Iraq, A Soldier/Father's Perspective On the War"
WASHINGTON - The Internet has brought us another remarkable soldier's story from Iraq worth reading and thinking about.

The story below is told by Sgt. Zachary Scott-Singley, 24, who grew up in Washington state and is an Arabic language translator serving in Iraq with the 3rd Infantry Division.

The sergeant has been in the Army for five years. He fought in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and was about to leave the Army late last year when he was caught in a "stop-loss," an involuntary extension of his enlistment so he could be sent to Iraq for another year of combat duty.
