I got calls from several people who saw this piece when it aired on CBS this morning.
Rep. Mac Thornberry's FaceBook page is now unavailable.

Oh, what a sad and astonishing story!
God bless that dear lady’s heart and her husband’s ultimate sacrifice for our country.

"Billie was married to me all of his life, and I choose to be married to him all of my life," Harris said.
That tugs at my heart.

Mac is not innocent in this matter. If all the family had to do was look at his service record, then that’s all Mac had to do. He runs the Armed Services Committee for goodness sakes.
He is my Congresscritter and he will answer for this.

When it absolutely, positively, has to be rendered FUBAR, ask the Congress of the United States for an answer...

That won’t happen. This is about the most conservative part of Texas and he never gets a serious opponent.
I can’t stand the guy, he’s there just to be there. “Goes along to get along”. :-/

I can’t help but think of their family that never was (and so many others like them).
My grandfather served in the Naval Pacific Theater, and he made it home. He is now 86. He and my grandmother had three children. My Mom was one of them.
We just can’t fully imagine the scope of the loss of war.
