It is a sad day in America for it to lose another child of God which is why I blanch at those who condemn those who chose to enlist. A sad day indeed.

Another terrible loss out of thousands. Several more reported now nationally in the last couple of days. Remember them all and tell representatives we want them home. Tell them we want focus on peace and Intelligence. War should be a last resort, not a permanent state.

Pick up the phone. Write letters and emails. Support our troops.
