'This whole thing reeks of explotation and politics by Turner the "reporter" who did the interview. His name is repeated repeatly.' Yes, and it's very unfortunate such a scab would prey on the hearbrake of such a family in this desperate situation.
He (the reporter) could accidentally walk into a fist in the not too distant future.

And 4 young men sitting on a front porch were shot yesterday in broad daylight in Baltimore. And known murderers walk free because witnesses are too terrorized to appear in court.
So while I grieve for this family, I believe the sensationalism is hype. The popular 'black' radio stations here are rabidly anti-Bush so there is no shortage of people ready and willing to exploit this family.
And about the tale that the sister recognized the number on the helicopter - truth is optional when the 'story' is better.

My heart went out to the Father of this fallen Marine. I have only one son, and believe I would be angry as well. But, would direct my anger twords Saddam and the U.N. If Saddam would have disarmed in 1991 like he promised to, in the cease fire agreement, and if the U.N. would have held him to the 45 day deadline that they imposed at that time...this Marine would not have died!

CNN did an interview with the family of Marine Staff Sgt. Kendall Waters-Bey this morning.
I was struck with the more gracious yet still somewhat bitter response from this fallen Marine's father, referencing his son's service to this government. I would assure this grief-stricken family that Marine Staff Sgt. Kendall Waters-Bey was serving his country and the American people, and we the people honor his chosen duty to guard the freedoms of us all. It should be noted, too, that Marines operate as a unit and they have lost a comrade and fellow Soldier. Duty, Honor, and Country are not hollow words to these brave Marines.

His name along with those who've fallen in Afghanistan will find a place of honor in history.
May God bless them and welcome them home.

re-read it....Waters-Bey moved to California with his wife but has been in constant contact with his son and the boy's mother, Tucker reported. Waters-Bey, who played football at Northern High School in Baltimore, was last seen by his son

I, too, watched the cnn interview this morning. The father stated that he felt better since 'condolences were sent his way' from the military leadership.

I don't understand what you are trying to say, or what he said, I didn't see the interview. I grew up in a city where everyone knew someone who was KIA in Viet Nam, it is a hard thing when the Officer knocks on your door to deliver the telegram, my mother nearly had a heart attack when I was dinged and evacuated from Nam on my last tour and the telegram was delivered.
It is a hard thing to loose a kid, you invest a lot of "You" in bringing them up. That this father had a son who was a Staff NCO in the Marines speaks well of him, I pray for him and his son.

The father seemed to be putting the blame On Pres. Bush in his tone yesterday. I'm sure the poor guy was in shock and the reporters were right there in his face. Today he was more composed and stated his son was doing something he wanted and died for country. My heart goes out to him.....you needed to see the interview from yesterday to know what I was responding to.

Dear Marine:
I would like to thank you for allowing us to keep our freedom, the same freedom that allows us to post our opinions here, to live, eat and breath as we choose, to worship the god of our choice and work in the field of our choosing. Without proud, brave, men such as yourself this great country would not exist and your legacy is all of the children who are here today and those who will come in the future, who will grow up in the same free society as their parents, grand parents, etc., all because of you.
