I couldn't even listen to her read it yesterday without crying. By the time she stopped reading because she was in tears I was crying just as much.

Glad I wore long sleeves to work today. Now they are both soaked.

I'm a hardened old combat, crying like a baby. This just brought back some of those memories that had been put away long ago. God bless these people, God continue to give them the strength to be there for our troops.

Wow. I didn't make it either.
My mother was an RN in Europe during WWII. She was a nurse-anethetist in an evacuation hospital, that traveled with the front lines. The stories she told me were exceptional. I'll never forget.
And yes - I agree. The medical personnel are some of the toughest and bravest out there - because war, and everything that goes with it, is the absolute OPPOSITE of the healer.
God Bless the troops - and God Bless the medical personnel.

And of course, meeting the one who threw himself on a grenade to save the men at his side ... who will likely be the first Medal of Honor recipient in over 11 years ... I need to know more about this hero. How long will it be before we do, I wonder?
The "correspondents" are too busy telling us about the marine who shot an "unarmed" "civilian" in cold blood.
Remembering this is a good antidote for the challenge of this post.

I heard Roma trying to read this yesterday.
She was so touched, she couldn't finish it on the air.
Thanks for posting this.

They're the best.
The most haunting and memorable image I have from Iraq so far are the Marine Chinook dustoffs, dropping off (lightly) wounded at night, in blackout conditions. They'll stay on the pad for 10 or so minutes completely obscured by the dust clouds. They'll then lift off, one by one, hover above the dust cloud until the others are airborne, then move out in a line formation. To see that in near total darkness is surreal. It's like a scene from some science fiction movie. Their flying skills are without comparison; like a precision flying team. Which I guess is what they are.

I read as far as the word "closure" and that did it for me; nothing makes me cry quicker than some pop-psychology cr@p about "closure."

Couldn't do it either. I'm saving this thread, as it is priceless.
