  Comment: I am saddened every time I hear that we have lost yet another soldier, and I don't want the press to stop reporting to us, just because it has lost public interest in viewers and doesn't sell as many newspapers. It is IMPORTANT that we not desensitize to this and accept it as everyday life, because when we stop caring about the stories......when we grow tired of hearing about Iraq.......when we stop reading the letters........they lose something very important............OUR LOVE..........and that is ALL we have to GIVE, all we have to SEND, all we have to SACRIFICE for them, to give them the courage to go on...........don't stop sending them that simple message, ever................ My prayers and cares...........skd500

  Comment: Regardless of what anybody thinks of the war itself, it's important to remember the men and women of the armed forces that are away from their families fighting this war. Yes people might disagree with the reasons the war is fought but like any other american in the United States the men and women in uniform are doing their jobs. Even if you don't support the war, support them. That's what they want and need. The moment they realize they have no support is the moment they give up the will to go on.

  Comment: Although non-military, I am a chaplain who has had the honor of standing with moms, dads, families as they embrace the death of a part of their futures. The soldiers in this story represent the future that will never be. I pray for the comfort of the families that must traverse this grif journey. I pray for those who are in harms way that may loss their lives in battles for a country that may or may not appreciate their sacrifice. I appreciate the sacrifice of our soldiers and their families!!!!
