An interesting if “insignificant” (newswise, nowadays) bit of war reporting. I care! But then, I have a son in the Army, been to Iraq, will have to go back in 2009. The burden is on me to care. I carry it alone, except for others like me, and except for you. Thank you.
God love the families of these two, make strong, comfort and keep them safe from too much pain.
