Six weeks ago, on the day the 507th deployed for the Persian Gulf, Pfc. Piestewa said goodbye to her two young children, four-year-old Brandon and three-year-old Carla.
"I am ready to go," she told a local television station. It's very important to me to know that my family is going to be taken care of."

I liked David Bloom and I am very sorry that he died during this war. However, I think it appalling that the media wears black and openly mourns a journalist that was killed, but for the most part (this article is an exception) does not dwell on the emotional toll caused by a soldier's death.
The media clearly feels that the loss of a journalist is a major loss for us all -- but the loss of Pfc. Piestewa is merely good for a human interest story on a slow news day.

I grow tired of hearing about this young ladies every move......One more suggestion about giving her the medal of honor, or renaming Baghdad International, to Jessica International, I going to gag.....LOL!

Forgive me for my ignorance here...been have a hard time keeping up. What happened to the other woman (think her name was Shoshana Jackson - not sure on spelling) who was shown alive on TV? Is she still a POW or among the dead? Have they found any of the five who were shown on TV?

I'm going to be a cold-hearted, insensitive bastard here, and say that I thin I've had about all I can stand of stories related to PFC Jessica Lynch.
"She's a hero!" "She should get the CMOH!" etc... Enough is enough - what about the other members of her unit? The DEAD ones? What about THEIR families? Hmmm???
Enough is enough. PFC Jessica Lynch isn't special. She did her job. That's it. Period...
