Note from a Marine's Mom....

Received the following note from a very dear friend this evening who is the mother of a Marine currently serving in Iraq. It comes following the news of the latest 21 Marines killed there the past two days. Better than anything I was going to post this evening, I'm sharing it instead.

Picture this, my friend, brother....You're getting all dolled up in your

favorite costume/headset, and suddenly there is a knock at the door.

It's friggin 11:30 PM...who could possibly be knocking at your door at

this hour?

Just so happens, it's two very handsome young Marines, in dress blues, coming to alter your life forever. They are oh so polite, and accommodating, as they tell you that your son has 'contributed' "the ultimate sacrifice".

Twenty One families have experienced this in the past 48 hours!

I'm sure you'd rather not think about that. And of course, neither would I, or most of America. But damnit, who is paying attention and getting pissed off enough to stop this bullshit?
