I realize in your circles it's probably not as common as Tiffany or Brittany or April. You win though: your screen name is completely without irony. The news last evening quoted a statement by the Menchach's mother, wherein she states she does not support the war. Let the character assassination begin--you might like to give her a window to actually bury her son before you start attacking her patriotism. Just a thought.

I live in California and we don't see many people who feel a duty to country or even people they say they care about. Most of the men I've met wouldn't sacrifice themselves for their mothers. These military families are a whole other breed. God has touched them in a special way and I'm in awe of them.

Nothing saddens me more than to see men who I know - who I KNOW - would hate to have their names associated with the Cindy Sheehan left, being used by those people for anti-American propaganda purposes after their deaths. I'm glad these two young men made thier views crystal clear. It keeps their memory sacred, keeps the insincere from using their deaths for political gain. I really think everyone serving in theater should do the same, should spell out exactly what they think - and exactly HOW they want to be remembered, if they fall in battle.
