This is on the Houston Chronicle's front page this evening. There does not appear to be a followup article.
It's a touching image and story nonetheless.
God Bless.

That little guy has a haircut that I'm sure makes his daddy proud.

Anyone notice that the Marine giving the little boy his Dad's dog tags is also injured? (Look at his arm.) He was probably with his Dad when he died. *Sob*
Gawd. Seriously. We need to get serious, kick more @ss and bring our boys home NOW. No more of this "house to house" fighting. Warn the civilians to get out of the way, start carpet bombing and be done with it!

God bless this Marine and his family.
And, God bless all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice so that we can be free and safe here at home.

This mans sacrifice on behalf of our nation may very well have guaranteed that his son will not have to fight a much worse war in the future because we did not stop the evil ones today.

To bad there was not a touching photo for the 99th.
To: Tarpaulin
Actually, I read recently that there are more than 110 from Texas that have died fighting in Iraq. The toll from California is approaching 150. We just learned a neighbor about a 1/4 mile away just lost their boy five days ago. Those from all states have sacrificed.
I do not take this easily.

God bless the Marines...and this little boy, and the other children like him. May they never have to pay the price their fathers did.

Kansas tv news reported today of a wife who gave birth on Monday and a few hours later, got word that her husband had been killed.
I hate war.
