Happy Fourth of July

As young parents this video struck a cord with us (http://my.videoegg.com/video/dvxQWB). It really displays the true cost of the war. It doesn't just destroy lives, but it also fragments them. What this boy has experienced at such a young age is so incredibly sad and wrong. He has had to feel what it is like to truly miss someone with all your guts and heart until it hurts so far deep down inside of you that you can't even breathe. That is not a feeling that a young child should ever experience.

Our message for this holiday of nationalistic celebration of war, barbecues and cheap beer: "George, you son-of-a-bitch, bring those troops home and put an end to this disgusting war!"

So, happy Fourth of July and I want to add a picture of my brother, Nathan, whom we want to come home safely and quickly. We love you Nate and would love to talk with you soon!
