A heartbreaking situation for any family, but their resolve is impressive.

An additional story of families staying the course.

It's nice to see the resolve but I wish the media would stop using these families. We're going to hear resolve and we're going to hear bitterness and apology demands. People who suffer such terrible losses are emotional and twisting that emotion for whatever reason is shameless.

I get tears in my eyes every time I read these stories. I am immensly proud of our soldiers and their families for their bravery and patriotism.

God bless the Brown family. My second son, both of which were in this war in Iraq for from 10 to 12 months each, has now returned to me. I hope and pray that the Brown's offspring is also returned safely.

I stood by my president then and now and if I would have lost one of my son's I would presume to still have stood by him for what we are trying to do for the preservation of civilization and our way of life.

God bless all those that have given so much for this effort. Thank you Mr and Mrs Brown.
