Of course you are angry hon, it is almost inconcievable to lose so many of your finest in two days and instead of getting sympathy and support, you see these hatefilled jibes. Ohio isn't grieving alone, we all mourn with you.
Try to channel your anger into action.....if one of the Marine's lived nearby, you can cook the family a meal or offer to help. Attend their final services. Find out the Unit(s)address and send a sympathy letter. The local Marine Recruiter will pass it along. Letters of loving sympathy to your local newspaper or to the families seem so small, and we don't want to intrude....but maybe they will be a small comfort to those families just knowing they are loved & supported.
Well, see now this "dumb cow" has started advising with out even being asked :)
Take care, grandma mac
My anger is a little more personal too. My son is not a Marine, but served in a 15 month deployment in Baghdad in the Army reserves.
He came home safely, thanks to God's mercy and grace, and we are so proud of his service, and feel such grief for those whose sons did not come home.
It is a personal affront to me and my family when this noble and just mission is besmirched by those who have no stake in it, and the Commander in Chief is belittled by those who are completely ignorant of who he is.
I'm going to do more than pray for these families. I AM going to see what I can do personally. One of the young men lived in the same town my sister lives in, and I plan to find out what I can do to help that family deal with this enormous loss.
Thanks for the encouragement.
