Serving The Country That Won't Allow Your Wife To Live In

Struggling Iraq vet may lose his anchor

His wife, brought here illegally at age 6, is about to be deported. 'She's my everything,' her husband says.

The nightmares still plague him. The terrifying mortar attacks. The loss of an Albanian soldier and ally, mutilated by shrapnel. The Iraqi children, bloodied and battered, lined up for medical care at the U.S. base at Mosul.

Two years after returning from his service in Iraq, U.S. Army Spc. Jack Barrios, 26, is fighting sleeplessness, sudden angry outbursts, aversion to emotional intimacy and other fallout from his post-traumatic stress disorder.

But as he undergoes counseling and swallows anti-depressants, the soldier is fighting an even bigger battle: to keep his family from collapsing as his wife, an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala, faces deportation...>>>Rest Found Here


Their story and the story of another Soldiers Wife and Son, this Soldier Died while serving his Country!!
