Ah Bear, there are too many of these around what should be a festive season. I feel so much for their families. Their trial is over but those left behind have a dreadful legacy to deal with.
Too much sorrow. My prayers continue to flow to the fallen ones' families.
Pres. Bush didn't learn from his father,Let the generals run the war. Also he goofed,his dad got us in and out. He knew what our limintations were.
We live in a miltary town. Too may soldiers been in Iraq have said they aren't give the supplies they nedd to fight this war. They want to get in and do the job.
