I had not heard Lori's story...seems in a way like our generation paying a penance for the mistakes of other generations, and I can see both sides, but do agree with you in the end.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your writing job.

You deserve it!<BR/><BR/>It's a shame that we dishonor the fallen by turning her story into political fodder. Every life given in service to our country is worthy of recognition. No soldier, air man, sailor, or Marine I've ever known wants any sort of hero worship. That's not them.<BR/><BR/>I wish more people would realize this.Billy Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988347213957444145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431779571204421316.post-61856801766012953432009-03-26T10:28:00.000-07:002009-03-26T10:28:00.000-07:00First, congrats on the paid writing assignment.

One solider death is too many but as you've outlined, there are so many grieving families who have been offered not even an I'm sorry, let alone a highway named after their loved one.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for bringing this to light!Julie Arduinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08658926809120105714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431779571204421316.post-36365502057264559412009-03-26T10:24:00.000-07:002009-03-26T10:24:00.000-07:00Tracy-I applaud your courage to mention this situa...Tracy-<BR/>I applaud your courage to mention this situation. I have no doubt that you will receive some negative feedback, even if it is silence, for it's not popular to discuss such issues.<BR/><BR/>You have a unique position to address this topic. First, you are a woman. Second, you are a vet. <BR/><BR/>As a former Army man myself, I think your observations are valid and I appreciate you taking the time to point out the problems with this distorted sense of hero worship.<BR/><BR/>AND<BR/><BR/>Congratulations! You deserve this opportunity and I know you will do well!Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14493805128069922325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431779571204421316.post-37205339091345871692009-03-26T07:43:00.000-07:002009-03-26T07:43:00.000-07:00Oh, Tracy!

I know you are destined for greatness and cannot wait to read you in Train Up Children.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry for Lori and I know it is sad that many have fallen and are not recognized. I hate that.
