If you do a ping list on these photos, with update, could I ask to please be on that list?

I too lost someone in Iraq who was dear to my family. A man who believed in this country, family, and this WOT and taking the fight to the enemy.

It's a salve for me to see these parents in Iraq, and seeing Iraq through their eyes.

Hey gang: Can you please replace the link in AVNevis' post for the pictures with this link:

http://www.moveamericaforward.org/index.php/DailyFile/first_photographs_from_historic_trip_to_iraq/

It would be greatly appreciated and make it easier for everyone to see the pictures of this trip as we post more.

Thank you!

Thanks for the ping. The audio was inspiring and touching. Thanks for providing the opportunity to hear the parents speak. I just now ordered a copy of American Mourning.

She looks to be a lovely person and I'd love to meet her, but her shirt's alittle odd. Could you crop the picture "up" alittle?

The antennas you see in the pictures of Amman are likely amateur radio antennas. King Hussein was a ham operator and actively promoted the hobby in Jordan. I heard him on the air once but never had the opportunity to talk with him.

At the Sacramento Union, a poster calling itself jar jar left this comment:

"it would be such an ironic tragedy if these hacks died on their trip...hahaa"

It is easy to leave a comment and I encourage all FReepers to do so.

Down with jar jar

It is a puke. On the thread though, there are many who pounded it, and there are many posts supportive of the Gold Star Parents.

You don't need audio. Click on the article link above the picture and you can read the comments.
