somedaybitchwhat the NYT left out.
as Michelle says, it's always more telling by what is left out.
people like Jeffrey fought in a war over 50 years ago and they liberated a small town in what is now Croatia. it was Italy then, and it was my mother's home town. i was born free because people like Jeffrey were willing to sacrifice their lives for an ideal; for a belief that they weren't the only ones that deserved to live free; for perfect strangers.
"I don't regret going, everybody dies but few get to do it for something as important as freedom. It may seem confusing why we are in Iraq, it's not to me. I'm here helping these people, so that they can live the way we live. Not have to worry about tyrants or vicious dictators. To do what they want with their lives. To me that is why I died. Others have died for my freedom, now this is my mark."
