Families on the front lines
Mandy Simons never used to watch the television news much.
It seemed to Simons and her husband, Gordon, that there wasn't much encouraging on, so there was little point in watching it.
But when their son, John, was shipped off to Iraq two years ago, MSNBC became a fixture in their household. Simons turned up the volume so she could hear the television in every room and scanned the images for a glimpse of her son. She was searching for anything to let her know John was safe and alive.
