Sue wore her new T-shirt, "George Bush You Killed My Son."
Sue Niederer called out to Laura Bush, "When are yours going to serve?"
Sue thought that Laura Bush looked dumbfounded. She saw Laura Bush turning away.
"I thought they would send someone up to me and bring me back and let me tell her in private about how I felt, and many others, too. Not these people."

First Lady's Speech Interrupted By Dead Soldier's Mother
If our children voluntarily enlist, we cannot blame anyone. My son enlisted voluntarily for the bonus and education benefits. 9/11 happened 17 days before my son graduated from special forces and he told my husband and I to be brave for him because he would fight to the death if he had to.
He was proud of this country and in his words he asked us, "Have you seen what they did to our beautiful country? We can't let them get away with it. I will not let them get away with it. Be brave for me mom and dad. When I enlisted I knew that someday I might have to go and fight."
I wanted to scream but I didn't I stood there proud of a young boy that had suddenly turned into a man. The same type of man that we need, should we ever have to defend ourselves here at home.
