The passing of a soldier...
We lost a soldier today.


The soldier locked on the target, but never launched a rocket.
The soldier took aim, but never pulled a trigger.
The soldier was a prisoner of war, but was never held captive.
The soldier marched day and night, but never walked in combat boots.
The soldier set up camp, but faced no bombs.
The soldier carried a weapon named "Truth", but never fired a gun.
The soldier fought for America, but didn't wear a uniform.


The soldier was vilified by those not supporting actions against the enemy.
The soldier witnessed casualties first hand.
The soldier fought for the core beliefs which made our country great.


We lost the soldier today due to fratricide. Let's not lose any more...


Peace be with you, Cindy Sheehan...
