Stewart/Colbert!
I plan to vote for the Stewart/Colbert ticket in '08 for a funnier America! (Based on my voting choices, obviously, the Hil Street Journal is not a political forum ... but I have to share what NEWSWEEK Magazine is doing)In an ongoing series, NEWSWEEK publishes letters and e-mails from fallen U.S. troops in Iraq to loved ones and friends back home. They share unedited letters provided by families of the deceased.
As a person living in the US, I do not feel like we are a country at war. We still have Super Bowls, the Oscars, running water, AC, electricity, blogs, reality TV, etc. Reading these letters brings the war (emotionally at least) a little closer to home.
Pray that our troops come home soon.

Great, great article and really good post, Hil.
Thanks Hilary...I'm going to pass this on to my staff when I return to the office. I try to share these kinds of articles so we can remember our mission...'to care for those who have borne the battle.'

That's from this week's issue -- Letters to the Editor from the letters you linked to, Hil.
PS Found out last night my cousin's husband is going to Iraq (he's with the FBI)...we hope he comes home quickly and his tour is UNEVENTFUL.
Thanks for sharing that link, Ellie. Suz - I'll be thinking of your family member.
