Thanks to John Little for linking to PFC Tucker's last recorded phone message to his family:
Be proud of me Mom, I'm defending my country. Tell sis and my nephews hello for me, I'm OK, I'm on my way.

It's certain that if there's mercy for those monsters, it would have to come from God--I have none whatsoever. Only one thing to be thankful for--apparently, the pressure was so heavy on them that they didn't have as much time to play their torture games as in other cases.
Everyone: Did you see how carefully the terrorists followed the Geneva Conventions? No? Neither did I. Compare the treatment of our troops to how we treat them. Panties on the head vs. head sawed off--now who has committed the atrocities??
.. from a slightly different perspective, the close-up (before capture) pictures of Nick Berg, he doesn't really favor my son at all...
..but in the orange jumpsuit & right before Zarqawi executes him....I see a young man much changed from the 'before' pictures....and from a distance, it is almost the exact image of my son.
Hard to explain...
..I cannot look at that picture, ever!
May God show great mercy to the families of those two brave soldiers ...and may He grant supernatural peace, as only He can bring...to their hearts and minds.
"Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure." - President Abraham Lincoln
To you two "Heroes:"
I salute your Bravery, your Honor; and your dedication to Duty
I thank you for your service and having volunteered to serve your Country in order to help protect me and all of our fellow Americans.
I mourn your loss and my heart goes out to your family, relatives and friends.
Your sacrifice will NOT be remembered as having been in vain and we Veterans, especially, hereby recognize you our dear Comrades, as forever, Brothers-in-Arms.
As we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice you made, know that you are in our prayers and in our hearts; we ask God to Bless you and implore the Good Lord to provide you a special place in the hereafter. You deserve no less.
Amen.
Take a deep breath and study some military history. They haven't roasted anybody over hot coals yet.
You're right; and of course it's
all just to vent venom at Bush.
They must be afraid the Dem
Party will just shrivel up and
fade away if they don't win in
2006/2008.
You've got a lot of heart, Maam.
Thankyou for your contribution
in rearing a fine young man who
serves his country and has pride
in knowing his family stand behind
his efforts.
Bump.
Can you really compare the magnitude of what we are up against. No kidding, there have been brutal events in past wars but it's like these savages are that and even more. It remains unprecedented what we are up against.
