Senator Murray met with the families of Washington National Guardsmen serving in Iraq at Camp Murray to hear their stories.

"Unlike the spouses and parents of career servicemen, these women aren't necessarily used to their soldiers serving for months overseas. They say they don't have the same nexus of support - and deployment usually means a pay cut for the family." - The News Tribune - January 12, 2003
