He is expected home in January for leave.<BR/><BR/>Polly,<BR/>You are so right. No matter if we think the war has been mishandled as I do or that this is what it will take to keep us safe from terrorists as do others, I like to think we can all agree that these soldiers and their families are the ones directly paying for the effort. I don't think we accomplish much by shouting names at each other. I think the t-shirts you are creating to help raise money for the families is wonderful.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482567840321600439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31956135.post-6055341807913735002007-10-20T02:27:00.000-05:002007-10-20T02:27:00.000-05:00Thank you for writing about this.This is the reali...Thank you for writing about this.<BR/>This is the reality for all of the families who serve.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday, in Berkeley:<BR/><I><BR/>"When the pro-war side sang “God Bless America,” the anti-war people sang, “God Save America.” The pro-warriors called the protesters “commies” and the pro-peace folks called the counter-demonstrators “killers.” The pro-war people shouted “USA” and the anti-war people called out in response: “Out of Iraq.”" --Judith Sherr, Berkeley Daily Planet</I><BR/><BR/><BR/>We call this progress? We call this discussion? At either end, feelings are running deep.
