That was really lovely Samm, especially this last line. Thank you for sharing.

Samm,

Its a shame that there are people who aren't as compassionate as you are. Being ex-Navy, I feel for the parents, spouses, and families of our soldiers, whether they are Navy, Army, Marines, or any of they other service academies. They are all like a brother or sister to me.

I know what you mean... every week I watch George Stephanopolis (spelling is probally not right) and tears roll down my face as all the names, ages and home towns are blazed across the screen. JJ says why do you do it when you know you get upset... I tell him "because I need to... I need to acknowledge what these kids have given us... their lives and to mourn in my own way for them and their families... for I could be one of them.

Samm,
Thank you for saying everything you've said.
You found words that I haven't been able to find.
Thanks.
