So difficult to read but so like an American soldier and a ten year old American girl--just plain great, decent people all the way around.

God bless Megan and Mcgee

Thanks for the post. Sad but wonderful. Americans like these make this country the light of the world.

Words just won't suffice in a moment such as this. Prayers for Megan's family and SPC Martin McGee. sob

I read this first thing yesterday moring. Had myself a good cry. The thing that touched me the most was the innocence of a little girl in a letter to a soldier.

The story of the drowning a few weeks ago was sad enough, but this makes it more personal.

What a great group of caring people Freepers are! Yeah, it was a total tearjerker, but a touching story and a great reminder of how strangely life can turn out for any of us on any given day.

The only other thing I'd like to add is that I wish I could say, "Courage," but Dan Blather ruined that sentiment forever. :(

Perhaps her congressperson should stand up in open session and read THIS one to ol' "cut and run" Murtha!
