Worth Mentioning from "A Soldier's Perspective"
Read this from the AP: Police to protect vandalized home of fallen soldier.
If that angers you to high heaven, if you care, then channel your feelings into action and show your support for the soldier's family: Letter writing request. It is the right thing to do for a family who has lost a son defending this country, and then having citizens of this country violate his home.
It would be nice if everyone would spread the word and post this onto their blog.Also, take a look at the Iraqi Index of Violence. Apparently, despite even the violence in wake of the thousand year old golden dome of the Al Askariya shrine, February experienced the lowest fatality rate for U.S. troops in 5 months.

Some good Marines sang the Marine Corps Hymn to protesters during the parade.
Check out the article that appeared in The Sentinel http://www.cumberlink.com/articles/2006/03/03/news/news21.txt
"....In between the steady rain and the various Marines, Vietnam veterans and motorcycle groups, the Westboro Baptist Church never had much of a chance to spread its message of hate during a staged visit prior to Thursday’s memorial service for Marine Capt. Bryan Willard. The Enola native was killed Feb. 17 when his helicopter crashed into the Red Sea near Djibouti, Africa........
The only hint of confrontation came after the out-of-state protesters began chanting “Semper Fi! Semper Fag!”........Marines were lined up along the church sidewalk with their backs to the protesters, who camped across Route 11........Suddenly, the Marines turned around and drowned out the protesters with a spirited rendition of “The Marines’ Hymn.”
God bless our troops and those who serve in Harms Way.
