The families know. Our local radio station gave their names this morning.

Missing Soldier's Uncle Criticizes U.S.

Tucker's relatives declined interviews but released the text of a phone message Monday that Tucker recently left on an answering machine, telling his mother to be proud of him.

"I'm defending my country," Tucker says on the recording. "Tell sis and my nephews hello for me, I'm OK, I'm on my way."

The family said in a statement that their son had joined the military because he wanted to "do something positive." They also sent their sympathy to the family of Spc. David J. Babineau, 25, of Springfield, Mass., who was killed in the attack.

Interesting that the uncle decided to spew the talking point of the Dems: "The U.S. did not have a plan in place."

"Missing Soldier's Uncle Criticizes U.S."

This AP headline just makes my angrier. The f***ing anti-American media will do anything to highlight those in opposition to OIF, even quoting a relative who may or not may have spoken without thinking. Thank God that most families who lose their loved ones understand the reason they served and died, and though the loss is more than painful, do not seek to blame others than those that killed him/her for their death.
