The Witmer family (they lost 1 of their 3 daughters who went to Iraq)

Reading the news stories about that family is just ripping my guts out. Losing a child or a sibling is bad enough, but losing a twin is a deep, deep loss that few people can comprehend.

That poor family, and that poor little girl. Twenty years old, and * put her in the ground. I hope those goddamn motherfucking son of a whore freepers are proud of themselves for all their rah-rah for this illegal, immoral mess. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Does anyone know the URL for the family's personal web site? It's mentioned in several news stories. If there's a guestbook there, I'd like to leave a note telling them how sorry I am for their loss.

4. well, that's something

now I hope they have the wherewithal to stay home.

I could see, if I had lost my brother or sister in that mess, feeling like I had to go back -- staying home might feel like an admission that it's all a crock of shit; that my brother had died for absolutely no reason.

No matter what happens, the whole thing is a travesty. :cry:

and it's back up after being probably overloaded. The picture gallery is heartbreaking.
