of US troop fatalities from this ill concieved war. (At least that's the number I got from the www.icasualtie.org website.) Wouldn't it be great if we could send her a rose for every fallen US soldier to honor her standing up for them. I doubt we could get that many donations by 2:00. But I'll certainly contribute. God, I love that woman. Thanks for whoever started this campaign of roses. Good idea! |
