Who is Mourning? (a liberal blog written by a teen )

There was a memorial vigil at Fort Hood tonight, but I didn’t get a chance to go. I have been thinking all day about who might be mourning the soldiers who died.

Do you know this Dixie Chicks song? The girl who is mourning the dead soldier (from the Vietnam War) is mourning alone under the stands at a HS football game, and no one even knows that she knew him, that she fell in love with him.

President Obama and everyone else has sent their sympathies to the families of all of the people who were killed yesterday here in Texas, but I wonder if there’s anyone else mourning who is just crying by themselves under the stands.

It’s a real tragedy. I don’t think we understand enough about what happened, but we know enough that it’s time to end all of the wars.

I've got something in my eye again. Great blog - BTW she has a brother who served at Ft. Hood

Dixie Chicks rock! Miss 'em and wish they'd come back.

Another casualty of the truth. Should be invited to the WH.

song needs some air time.

Used to call Mike Malloy quite often, her brother was going to ship out to Iraq and they were going to put her in foster care. Lots of Malloy listeners ended up helping her and her brother ended up staying in the states with her.

If you're reading this Cassie, you rock!
