My sons father was injured in Ramdi Iraq

This war has gone on long enough--BEYOND long enough! President Bush and the others who made the decision to go in there in the first place are outrunning their headlights now, and it seems as if they can't shut it off. Russell's very plain-spoken about his feelings re: how the country is being run. He says that he's going to be celebrating in January, because Bush will no longer be in The White House. My views of President Bush are more positive ones--but, when it comes to this war, it IS obvious that he's gotten in there bigtime and doesn't know how to get out and just keeps on sending troops over. He reminds me of President Johnson interrupting our favorite afternoon programs to come to us with a heavy heart and announce that he was going to have to send more troops over to Vietnam. On top of bringing bad news, he had this nasty habit of breaking in when Paul Revere & The Raiders were up on Where The Action Is or something important was happening on General Hospital. I remember how I felt when I learned that my cousin, Jimmy, had been drafted--and how relieved I was to find out how he had joined The National Guard and wouldn't be going to Vietnam. I also remember how your mom was hoping and praying that your Uncle Bill's time in the service would be up before Uncle Sam had the chance to ship him off to Vietnam--and what a day it was when she came to school all excited and telling people that Bill was coming home!!! Sadly, I also remember how our school secretary looked when she heard that her son had been killed over there. Jamalee had aged overnight. We really DO need to get out of there before the history of Vietnam ends up repeating itself...
