War is Hell

This is from a 19 year old Marine who was killed last year in Iraq.  His family recently found the letter in with his personal effects that were delivered to them by a Marine Casualty Assistance Officer.  No matter what your view is on Iraq, we have some truly amazing young people over there who are fighting for us.  I hope God watches over them and that they come home soon.

Wow. Up until this point I've never had the chance to actually read one of these letters. I knew they were real, but, have never read one myself. That is something I, as a parent, never have to go through. I can never imagine having to bury my child. Parents should never have to bury their kids, it should be the other way around.
