I have been reading letters from my brothers and sisters in the American Military. I read
Michael Moore's collection, "Will They Ever Trust Us Again?" and I am in the middle
of Frank Schaeffer's "Voices From The Front." Together they offer a broad diversity
of views from the brave individuals who are serving and sacrificing.

I highly recomend both books as Michael Moore's letters are more critical while Frank Sschaeffer's
are less so. The sense I get from all sides of the equation is that these people are brave,
smart, and for the most part God-fearing.

I now have a picture of an Iraq War Memorial on the home page of my website along with a counter
for the casualities of war. The website Antiwar.com has information on both American
military casualties as well as of Iraqi civilian casualities. I consider Iraqis to be my brothers
and sisters too and while the American body count has surpassed 1,000, the Iraqi
body count has surpassed 10,000.

God marks every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand, and all stars are numbered. R.I.P.
Vaya con Dios ...
