Jon-
I'm assuming they were friends/relatives of yours- Condolences and sympathy
in your loss... It is good to know there are still people willing to put
their lives on the line to stop people like Saddam and his ilk. Many people
fail to realize the vast opportunity for men like him to destroy- far beyond
Hitler, given the chance, and he needs be stopped, as is now happening. If
those protesting the war were to see the truth behind his actions, they
might not be doing what they are. Have a pint for me, in memory of friends
departed in the Triumph family.
